Copy-pasting from an older message of mine:
"I think serving XHTML to Mozilla as text/html makes no sense unless you 
are using a tool that only outputs XHTML. (This is not the case with 
Editor or text editor.) XHTML served to Mozilla as text/html offers no 
benefit over HTML 4.01. The benefits come when XHTML is served as 
text/xml and combined with other applications of XML.

I don't think we should set an example by serving XHTML as text/html. In 
that case the browser doesn't enforce well-formedness. I don't think we 
want the risk of accidentally ending up with non-well-formed sorta-XHTML 
legacy to deal with."
