How to serve XHTML as application/xhtml+xml

[BroChris]

I can't seem to get it to work. Here are my files:

template.xml (http://www.designsbychris.com/temp/template.xml)
template.xhtml (http://www.designsbychris.com/temp/template.xhtml)
template.html (http://www.designsbychris.com/temp/template.html)

The following is what is in my .htaccess file:
AddType application/xhtml+xml xhtml html
What am I doing wrong?

Please don't reply to stickies if you haven't got anything to say that might benefit the general public. This question should have been a thread on it's own. (And Alex probably will make it so...) [:edit:]Which he evidently did

As for your question:http://www.designsbychris.com/temp/template.xhtml

However, first of all, your code is invalid. <http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.designsbychris.com/temp/template.xhtml>

Secondly, XML data islands are iew proprietary, and iew doesn't support the 'application/xhtml+html' content type. (Nor does it have very good XML support as well, unless you have downloaded MSXML 4.) Moz has other ways to do the equivalent of XML data islands, and if you go that way, why don't you write the entire XML data island using scripting instead? That way it would be valid, too.
