 not.

 To me, that doesn't sound like a "wontfix". It sounds like a
 "willfixinthedistantfuture". So I've reopened this but pushed the
 milestone back to 2.9 because that's the most distant milestone Trac is
 letting me assign.

 In the meantime, using something like
 {{{
 <?php
 function set_content_type_for_xhtml_strict() {
     return "application/xhtml+xml";
 }
 add_filter('pre_option_html_type', 'set_content_type_for_xhtml_strict');
 ?>
 }}}
 in the theme's functions.php is a workaround that will force the content-
 type for those who want it to be "application/xhtml+xml" regardless of
 browser capability.
