On a cursory inspection, it will send application/xhtml+xml to a client
agent which says it accepts it with q=0.0 - i.e explicitly refuses it.

What a silly attitude to take! Content-type negotiation has already been
implementated to specification[1] e.g in Apache; it's absurd to launch
this kind of half-witted implementation on the web, that only works on a
few known browsers (don't you know any other kinds of client agents, by
the way?).
