This has been discussed many times on the www-validator mailing-list and here

* If for some reason you really want to use XHTML 1.1, then make your php
script send application/xhtml+xml as a *default*, not the other way around. It
will still be against the specifications, but less often.
* If for some reason you really really want to serve XHTML 1.1 as text/html by

a warning. And if you can't stand it, there's always
