yes, and as such, it requires a <tip>.

Converting your site to XHTML? Trying very hard to validate? Well,
what MIME type will you use to serve these pages? You have two
options, with arguments supporting each (you can find more than those
I linked to, but it's a start):
text/html
http://macedition.com/cb/cb_20030714.php
application/xhtml+xml or text/xml
http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml
Read up and consider the options. There are reasons both ways that
you can cause yourself a headache.
Or, unless you're planning to use MathML, you could just continue to
use HTML 4.01, which still allows you to use CSS and which is still a
viable standard. Yes, I may be oversimplifying, but it is worth
considering why you even want to switch to XHTML and determining if
it's worth it, or better to stick with HTML.
