Re: [WSG] usage of new entities in dtd's

As far as I know, no User Agent (besides the W3C validator) repects the content-type header.  It's a bit of a pain. Sans headers (like if your opening a local file) Firefox (and I'm gruessing the whole Gecko family) will treat a file as application/xhtml+xml if the extention is .xhtml, if it's .xml it will call it text/xml, but the rendering effect will be the same. With websites it's a bit tricky.  The problem is that some of the legacy browsers (at least IE) go all funny when you send them application/xml+xtml. Ideally you can use something like PHP and check the "HTTP_ACCEPT" header like this.  Otherwise IE tries to save your pages instead of view them.

Merely setting this in the document head was not sufficient. Thus, tidying up the code and adding "AddType application/xhtml+xml .xhtml" to httpd.conf got everything running smoothly.
