I too have recently been writing code which tests for "application/xhtml+xml" (using PHP), in the end choosing to create a special case for the validator so that it would be sent XHTML rather than HTML. The results of my code are at http://www.workingwith.me.uk/articles/scripting/mimetypes/ - you might find the code useful.
