We have been assured by informed sources that Google will be processing
documents served as application/xhtml+xml by this Summer.

This sounds like a problem with Google. As XHTML use expands, it seems

text/html. Neither XHTML 1.1 nor XHTML 2 can be served with that

Will XHTML 2.0 *have* to be sent as "application/xhtml+xml" (or one of
the other XML content types) or will it be allowed to be sent as
"text/html"?
The main reason I'm asking this, is because after doing some tests I
realized that Google Adsense will not display on any page sending out
"application/xhtml+xml" as the content type. Which would mean loss of
revune.
I'm very interested in using XHTML 2.0 when it is finished and a doctype
is made for it, but I'd prefer to use "text/html" if I can.
So just wondering if the rules will be the same as XHTML 1.0 in which
it's allowed for websites to send the document as "text/html" as long as
certain compatibility guidelines are followed. Or if the rules will be
the same as XHTML 1.1 in which "text/html" is in violation of the
specification, and you can only use "application/xhtml+xml" as the
content type.
