Unfortunately this would introduce a further complication, in that
the content should then be served with MIME-type

        application/xhtml+xml

However, if you do this, then at least one major browser will
fail to handle it properly.  Thus, as others have already
said, you would do better to use one of the three HTML 4.01
variants (strict, transitional or frameset : the last is
irrelevant in this context), and whilst the purist in me
would advocate "strict", a more pragmatic person might
recommend transitional until you yourself become more familiar
with the standards.
