The Yellow Screen of Death is about as annoying as you can get. I really don't understand how you can go on about the benefits of XML because it requires well-formedness, but then turn around and say XML can be served as text/html which just makes all your arguments null and void.

Perhaps because you believe the MIME type is a magic incantation that somehow changes the document's nature, and I don't.

The document is what it is. A sequence of bytes is either a well-formed XML document or it isn't. I can call it XML, but that doesn't mean it is; and I can say it's not XML, but that doesn't mean it isn't.
