I was writing a small web application recently, and I - naturally - 
served my XHTML 1.1 as the MIME type prescribed by the standard. 
However, I ran into two issues:

1) Internet Explorer 6 on windows does not recognise the MIME type, 
asking the user where to save it.
2) Using Safari - with both released and (then) trunk WebKit - cookies 
didn't work. I've filed this bug in radar.

So until the bugs are fixed WebKit, and IE7 sees widespread acceptance, 
I'd say the world isn't ready for application/xhtml+xml.
