--- Comment #1 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at gnome.org> ---
Of course, since r284521 was just a straight revert of r276635, I would expect the test expectations to go back to what they were prior to r276635.

The *correct* behavior would be "match whatever Safari does," but I suspect we never did. My recommended solution, from bug #230797:

"""
Of course, it would be *better* for WebKit to make content type decisions based on the DOCTYPE instead, but we can't expect a content sniffer to do that. We would have to implement it ourselves in WebKit, rather than farming out the work to GIO. I wonder how other ports handle this.
"""

This is what Bastien has recommended, as well.
