If wouldn't actually help anything though.
If you are doing content negotiation and then sending exactly the same
content, but with different Content-Types, then the validator is going
to get the same data either way - so it makes no difference (and the
content negotiation is pretty pointless).
If you do serve up different content, then it makes sense to be able
to validate both versions, in which case you'll need to use some other
strategy so that you can serve up both to the validator under
different circumstances.

This will serve up application/xhtml+xml if the browser sends Accept:
application/xhtml+xml;q=0, text/html (i.e. explicitly rejecting
XHTML). You should get a better algorithm.
