I still see dangers with that. IE doesn't support overrideMimeType, so
if you don't want to leave it in the dust and want xml, you have to
serve as text/xml anyway. Furthermore I see people trying to make it XML
while it is HTML really and probably not well-formed. Instead of doing
it the right way in the beginning. I'd say MIME type matters, nothing else.
Maybe I just can't imagine a situation where this is useful.
