true, .htm/l are sent as text/html, but in this day and age, the majority of web based content is dynamically served, bringing server side languages into play, which then allow you choose which mime type you send, making my statement entirely relevent. if you're in a spot where you've got descision making power over what language to use, odds are high your choices extend beyond xhtml and html.

plus, if you're actually worrying over the outcomes of such a thing, odds are eqaually as high that your project's scope is far more complex than a static webpage, which brings the dynamic element into place once more.
