I belatedly thought of that: no results.

httpd.conf
AllowOverride All
ppk.conf
AllowOverride AuthConfig
I noticed that the path to my files in ppk.conf was wrong, instead of
/Users/ppk/Sites my files are in /Library/Webserver/Documents, but
when I reset the path my entire server threw errors and nothing worked
any more. So I changed it back to the default /Users/ppk/Sites.
I tried the same setup on my external webserver, and there it does
exactly what I want: an html file is served as text/xml . So the error
definitely lies within the Apache configuration, and not in the
.htaccess files themselves.
I can of course test everything on my external server, but I'd prefer
my internal OS X server to follow my commands. Bloody OS X shitstem.
Thanks anyway, and if somebody has an additional clue, please tell me.
