> Regarding the lack of test cases, I'm not sure if there is an easy way to show the Qt WebKit browser's handling of these MIME types on a browser other than Symbian Qt WebKit browser--which is not available outside of Nokia as far as I know. [...] 

I meant automated testing. Qt API testing or LayoutTest.

But anyway, your patch is absolutely _NOT_ valid. The types "text/xml" and "application/xml" are perfectly valid types for XHTML (which is one of a standard way of serializing HTML...).

There are some super popular websites based on XML + XSL.

You are just working around a corner case where the server give you the wrong type by breaking a perfectly valid and very common case.

If you want to workaround the type issue of http://news.feedzilla.com/en_us/headlines/top-news/world-news.rss, you must do it in your application, _NOT_ in the engine.
