XHTML served as text/html, causes rendering problems

[ben@…]

Right now, web/chrome.py's render_template() says:

method = {'text/html': 'xhtml', 'text/plain': 'text'}.get(content_type, 'xml')

This causes output of XHTMLRenderer to be served out with Content-Type of text/html, and this in turn causes some serious rendering problems in certain edge cases. For example, if the generated markup contains <dl><dd><dl/></dd><dd></dd></dl>, then the <dl/> is interpreted by Safari to be just a <dl> (I am pretty sure this is the right way for it to interpret <dl/> in HTML strict mode), causing the subsequent <dd> to be nested on the wrong level.

I am pretty sure that templates should either be rendered with Genshi HTMLRenderer and transmitted as text/html, or rendered with Genshi XHTMLRenderer and transmitted as application/xhtml+xml.
