Support XHTML media type (RFC 3236) in default install

           Summary: Support XHTML media type (RFC 3236) in default install
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Modules
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dmh@dmh.org.uk


Would it be possible for someone to add support for RFC 3236 (the
'application/xhtml+xml' media type registration) into the default Apache
server installation?  It's missing in both version 1.3.x and 2.0.x.

Firstly, the registration should appear inside the mime.types file:

    application/xhtml+xml		xhtml xht

Secondly the DirectoryIndex directive inside httpd.conf (or all the
http*.conf* files) should have a reference to 'index.xhtml', e.g.:

    DirectoryIndex index.xhtml index.html

... or perhaps:

    DirectoryIndex index.xhtml index.html index.xhtml.var index.html.var

Many thanks,

Dave
