Currently, W3C has a very clear position on this. One of the items in its "Common User Agent Problems" is that a valid MIME type should take precedence over anything else (no sniffing of the content, etc), i.e., A document served as text/xml -> xml parser A document served as text/html -> html parser This is recorded in the Mozilla's bug tracking system: W3C CUAP: Respect Content-Type HTTP header http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68421 With such a clear position, there hasn't be much motivation at looking at the bug that I filed, requesting to use the file extension as a clue (it is also easier to implement). http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67646 --- RBS
