Comment (by Dave Hodder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
Ah, I wasn't aware of Sune Kirkeby's middleware when I first wrote this.
I've attached another version which doesn't examine the User-Agent header
inside _supports_xhtml().
The first two versions fall back to User-Agent sniffing when the Accept
header is '*/*' or not present. My thinking was that this would allow the
likes of Apple Safari ("Accept: */*") and the W3C validator (no Accept
header) to still receive application/xhtml+xml contents. Given your
Google example, and the fact that Safari 3.0beta has fixed it's Accept
header, I've decided to remove the UA sniffing.
(The first two versions also don't properly cope with the default
PlayStation 3 browser.)
