Regardless of what MIME type we'd normally use, as long as browsers
support application/xml+xhtml developing with it is very handy,
because you get the instant equivalent of compile errors for your
HTML, as opposed to the usual behavior of "oh this doesn't parse, but
let's try to make sense of it anyway", which often leads to fruitless
debugging sessions just because you forgot to close some tag or
quotation.
