Secton 5.1 of the XHTML recommendation states: "XHTML Documents which
follow the guidelines set forth in Appendix C, 'HTML Compatibility
Guidelines' may be labeled with the Internet Media Type 'text/html'
[RFC2854], as they are compatible with most HTML browsers."

<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#media>

I haven't checked Haddock's conformance with Appendix C, but it is
incorrect to say that XHTML cannot be served as text/html.
