Comment (by chrisz):
Since you say "''also'' IE does not know about app/xhtml+xml", do you want
to say that there are also ''other'' problems with IE, or should I read it
as "''because'' IE does not know about app/xhtml+xml", so this is only
this one issue? I assume the latter.
And I agree, this is a serious issue and it needs to be fixed in TG 1.0.8.
Most people are probably using TG's default html format, that's why nobody
cried earlier.
I made this change in r5322 without rethinking the consequences, relying
on the W3C recommendation only and believing IE has improved in the last
versions. But you're right about the problems with application/xhtml+xml:
IE still doesn't understand it, and Mozilla automatically goes into "full
standards mode" without looking at the doctype.
I see several options how to fix this:
1. Simply revert the change, always send 'text/html' for both html and
xhtml.
2. Make the content type for xhtml configurable, with the old 'text/html'
as default.
3. Make the whole mapping from template formats to content types (as used
in view.base.render) configurable, with 'text/html' as default for xhtml.
4. Use content negotiation (based on the Accept header, not the User-
Agent-Header!). But I fear this will lead into even more problems.
