I know, that there is a bug filed. You mean Bug 785 http://www.w3.org/ 
Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=785 ?:-)

Which noteworthy clients besides Internet Explorer don't support  
XHTML and its recommended MIME type?

For instance, eee
http://sierkbornemann.de/pub/misc/tux

This is file is served by classic content negotiation, tux.html and  
tux.xhtml do exist.
But this can't be done for every single document of my site, whose  
pages are static files to 99%. This would be a rediculous overhead in  
storing each single file twice (one .html version and one .xhtml  
version).
I acknowledge, that it would be easier, if I had generated content,  
whose Mimetype would be set on-the-fly, depending on the client, who  
is requesting.
