Comment (by markjaquith):

 This all comes down to the timing for FF 2.0.0.1  If we're ready to
 release WP 2.1 and FF 2.0.0.1 isn't out with a fix, we should probably
 take Phil's advice regarding the 512 byte comment.  If FF is fixed after,
 we can take it out in a 2.1.1 release.

 Safari is a different matter.  I don't think Safari is sniffing the
 content.  Sending as text/plain fools Safari.

 How important is it to send text/xml like we're doing now?  It's supposed
 to be a download, so as long as it gets handled as text, what's the harm
 in sending it as text/plain?
