Not sure about that... in any case, they are two different doc types so the 
fact that the latter is also xml is not that useful. I think HTML is fine, 
but just that one may not want to follow the vanilla http Accept header 
semantics. It looks like the firefox people decided they had made a poor 
choice anyway, so maybe the approach I took could be considered a 
bug-workaround :)
