There's no reason to think it's being sent as
text/html. As the link you posted points out -
there's actually 3 others that work perfectly well.

But even if it is being sent as text/html, what's
the problem? HTML text travels just as well as XML
text.

In the HTML4 spec, it says that you shouldn't use
tables as page layout tools - but who pays attention
to that?! Getting too bogged down in the W3C spec
is a great way to hobble yourself.
