The W3C seems to endorse that practice, but common sense says as sending
something that's not HTML as text/html is a lie, leading to
interoperability problems.

This make me think of those baby games, where you've to put shapes in the
right holes.

Serving XHTML as text/html is like finding the cube (XHTML) "much
prettier" than the cylinder (HTML), but as there's no hole (in IE) for the
cube, striking with a hammer on the cube to make it fit in the cylinder
hole (text/html).
After having been crushed by a hammer, the cube isn't "pretty" anymore.
