Not really. Seems to work fairly well though. Probably best used in
conjunction with content negotiation to serve as "application/xhtml+xml"
for those browsers that can handle it. It has an advantage over serving as
"text/html" for IE though: it forces IE to use its XML parser before
handing it over to the HTML rendering engine. You may end up in quirks
mode though.
