Regardless, I'm leaning towards the dataType: "auto" approach as
it's easy to use/implement and affords enough control.

Well, so, first, I translated the dataType to "auto" when it was
null/undefined in my rewriting (because I hate messy/undefined values). But
that's no biggy.

Second, auto seems like the weirdest thing ever to me used like it is here.
So dataType==null and dataType=="auto" act the same for xml but not for
script & json? Seems completely inconsistant to me.

If a coder does not want auto conversion, then he simply specifies a
dataType (namely "text"). You just have to document it. But, please, do not
introduce a behavior that will act differentely for xml than it does for any
other dataType deduced from content type headers.
