It's ok with text/html but fails with application/xhtml+xml. The latter is only strictly /required/ with XHTML 2. It's optional with XHTML 1.0 and preferred (not required) with 1.1. It is legitimate to serve XHTML 1.1 using text/html (albeit anathema to purists) and thereby get practically useful results, bearing in mind how many people have IE6.
