java判断手机application/xhtml+xml,IE中的application / xhtml + xml

I just read this article from today:

http://webstandards.org/buzz/archive/2005_09.html

I need some help understanding this sentense:

The W3C recommends XHTML 1.1 should be served with the

application/xhtml+xml MIME type, something that Internet

Explorer does not currently support.

I thought it was the web *server* that serves documents in a certain

MIME type, not the web *browser*. I don''t see why it matters whether IE

*knows* it''s dealing with XHTML as long as the page is valid, is served

with a correct Content-Type header, and displayed correctly in the browser.

It certainly matters, if the document is not displayed at all ;)

IE does not recognize documents *served* as application/xhtml+xml as a

document it could display. It will popup a ''Save as..'', ''Open with..'' or

dunno dialog, if you try to load such a document. And a XHTML 1.1 document

is not valid, if it is served as text/html - the only MIME type IE

understands (for displaying (X)HTML documents).

Serving XHTML 1.0 as text/html is valid and advocated by the W3C as a

temporary workaround, but many people (including me) think that this is an

ugly, unnecessary hack that should be avoided. XHTML 1.0 has no added value

over HTML 4.01, especially if served as text/html.

That''s strange. I started to make the switch to XHTML 1.1, and I have no

problem in IE6 on Windows XP SP2. Maybe the problem you mention occurs

in IE5 (which is bad enough). Can anyone confirm this? I saw that IE6

doesn''t include "application/xhtml+xml" in the "Accept" HTTP header in

the request, but the page still renders properly. Maybe it shouldn''t.

For those interested, I wrote a bit on how to write conformant XHTML 1.1

documents (the URL is temporary). Enjoy. :-)

It looks identical IE and Firefox. In Opera, the

 elements are

displayed in a smaller font.

Interesting. My copy of MSIE renders it as
