Comment (by nacin):

 As presented in IRC:

 Two gold stars shall be awarded to the person who can present a reasonable
 argument that application/xhtml+xml has any '''practical relevance''' in
 any sense of either word, given the current standards and browsers of the
 web, and also given the dynamic content uses of modern day CMSes.

 In other words, I need something more than "better compatibility" -- why
 would you ever use this with WordPress? What's the benefit?
