The only one not on the current list that Safari supports is text/ xsl. I don't care that much about it, but it is far more widely used than the official "application/xslt+xml" and for various reasons (namely the fact that IE insists on text/xsl for XSL stylesheets) it's impossible to serve it with the proper MIME type. I don't know if anyone cares about retrieving XSL stylesheets with XMLHttpRequest though.

Note that IE does not require "text/xsl" to be passed as a mimetype during the http transfer. It only requires it inside the <?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction. IE handlels fine "text/xml" as mimetype during the actual http transfer.

For this reason mozilla does not treat "text/xsl" as an xml mime type.

That is what I thought as well. On Windows:

... is not treated as XML by Opera 9 (beta), Firefox and Internet Explorer 6. (It does have a text/xsl media type.)
