Just for the record: we discussed this last night, and I do not believe
that we should use the XML writer to produce XHTML, given that it is
technically incorrect to return text/xml when a browser requests
text/html.

There is some document describing the problems that browsers can run
into.  The XhtmlTextWriter should be used for things where proper HTML
will be embedded in an XML document.
