That is correct - they do not support XHTML and thus, they do not know what to do with its MIME type. text/html is only suitable if you are happy to have your XHTML processed in a non-XHTML processor (which will not parse it correctly, will not provide an XML DOM, and so on but may or may not display something that users can see). -- Chris mailto:chris@w3.org
