I'm all for consuming applications that want to be really smart checking whether the content of <content type="application/xhtml +xml"> is a fragment or a complete document and handling either, but if your content is an xhtml document fragment, is there any reason at all to publish type="application/xhtml+xml" rather than type="xhtml"?
First off I wouldn't recommend using XML content at all because I don't think the aggregator support is very widespread yet. But if you were determined to use an XML type you may decide to choose application/xhtml+xml for backwards compatibility with aggregators that don't yet implement Atom 1.0. I'm not sure whether there are any aggregators that fall into this catagory but it's not an unreasonable hypothesis.
