So it is just a metter of time when they will make it up.

The strange thing is that if you register a mobile sitemap with Google then one of the only three supported file formats is XHTML Mobile Profile, which should of course be served as application/xhtml+xml (the other two are WML and cHTML). You might think Google would recognize the formats that they supposedly support! Fortunately it does not seem to adversely affect search rankings and the "view as HTML" option is useful for IE users who can not view my pages directly due to the crippled nature of their browser.

Can you verify this for other pages too? I'm personally curious about two things with the page I saw: the content-style-type header (maybe that's throwing the spider a wrench?) and the DOCTYPE containing a carriage return. Not that either are incorrect I think, but I'm wondering if either one is messing with Google's ability to determine the MIME type. That’s weird. Can you verify this for other pages too?
