This isn't a valid case, there is no such MIME type, behaivour thus
undefined.

This is all implementation depending and can't be standardized.

No and "detection" in a MIME envoirement must not be performed either.

Yes, but the HTML WG created some contradiction in terms here, since
text/html must not be treated as XHTML and therefore neither the XHTML
1.0 recommendation nor any other XHTML rules apply.

Section 4.2 of HTML4 applies, the user agent must not render this SGML
processing instruction. Nothing else is defined.
