Jonas, in the summary of that page it says: 'application/xhtml+xml' SHOULD be used for XHTML Family documents and: the use of 'text/html' SHOULD be limited to HTML-compatible XHTML 1.0 documents Which leads me to believe that text/html is correct for XHTML documents when used as HTML for web sites. Especially after reading paragraph 2 of section 3.1: [XHTML1], Appendix C "HTML Compatibility Guidelines" summarizes design guidelines for authors who wish their XHTML documents to render on existing HTML user agents. The use of 'text/html' for XHTML SHOULD be limited for the purpose of rendering on existing HTML user agents, and SHOULD be limited to [XHTML1] documents which follow the HTML Compatibility Guidelines. In particular, 'text/html' is NOT suitable for XHTML Family document types that adds elements and attributes from foreign namespaces, such as XHTML+MathML [XHTML+MathML]. The important thing to note is that (in this thread) we are talking about XHTML as an HTML standard, nothing more. Which means a solution that is compatible with existing HTML user agents. We're not talking about adding MathML or any other XML application into the mix. This is purely HTML. So based on what I've read in the W3 documents, I think text/html is perfectly fine.
