 I access blog XML feeds via a caching proxy (squid).  The Content-Type in
 the HTTP response headers is initially reported correctly as 'text/xml',
 but when a subsequent request is made and the object is stale, wordpress
 sometimes returns a '304 Not Modified', but also incorrectly re-
 characterizes the Content-Type as 'text/html'.  Example:

 {{{
 HTTP/1.0 304 Not Modified
 X-Pingback: http://wordpress.org/development/xmlrpc.php
 Last-Modified: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 21:28:00 GMT
 ETag: "a4aa82a49dbe294617210eb367fa0997"
 Content-type: text/html
 Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:25:17 GMT
 Server: LiteSpeed
 Connection: close
 }}}
 I've seen this on 'wordpress.org/development/feed' (LiteSpeed), on a
 wordpress.com hosted blog (nginx), and on an independent site running
 wordpress (Apache).
