"if"? What "if", Kemo Sabe? :-)
It's up to the implementer to explicitly return the correct content
type in a header. I don't use PHP for this, but I use JSP pages for
content-types "text/css" and "text/javascript" regularly.

I don't know either, but "coding to standards" seems a reasonable
approach, at least until a problem surfaces :-)
