I really don't understand why the issue is the MIME type rather than the DOCTYPE, but yes, that's the issue. The comments about it being low priority seem to revolve around the fact that the user experience is degraded with XHTML, and therefore you shouldn't be using it anyway. Note the dates, though: that was the case in 2007, and even then it was clear that FF3 would change the situation. We're on FF3.5 now, and there's no reason to avoid XHTML from a rendering standpoint. XHTML can also do complex DOM manipulation through scripts; it just can't do it with document.write().
