Right XML (XHTML) isn't a tags soup as HTML is, so it's better. But
"application/xml+xml+xml" is very silly, unless site's content uses
dynamics, DOM, etc. As far as i can see, gitweb is not going to have
javascript and such yet (because of compatibility/usability).

Thus, fixing of http content negotiation is needed, or whatever is used
in Perl for this.
