 In {{{wp-includes/general-template.php}}}, there are two JavaScript
 sections related to the TinyMCE editor, where if {{{Content-type:
 application/xhtml+xml}}} is specified in the HTML headers, the Write Post
 page will fail to load.

 This is because Firefox will parse a page served with
 {{{application/xhtml+xml}}} with an XML parser, as opposed to an SGML
 parser.

 The XML parser apparently doesn't like the two ampersands ({{{&&}}}) in
 the JavaScript code, and bombs out. Adding CDATA tags around the code
 fixes the problem.

 Attached is a ready-made patch.

 Ticket priority is 'low', because not many people use the
 {{{application/xhtml+xml}}} for WordPress, but severity is 'blocker',
 because the Write Post page breaks.
