It also says "should not" in black on red.

You've explained at greath lengths why you think it is acceptable to send
text/html as content-type, but not why a user agent that accepts
application/xhtml+xml and is sent application/xhtml+xml is not told the
content is application/xhtml+xml
It's a minor issue with browsers, but I guess we'll get bugs or a questions
about that regularly.
Anyway, you should stick to xhtml1, preferably strict, because libxml2 does
not support 1.1.

Old stuff, but still valid.
If you stick to the XHTML 1.0 doctype, you'll notice magic stuff happening to
your transforms such as the name space being added to <html>, or xml:lang="pl"
automatically added if you only have lang="pl"...
e.g.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common"
xmlns:func="http://exslt.org/functions"
xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
extension-element-prefixes="exslt func str" >
<xsl:output encoding="UTF-8"
method="xml"
media-type="application/xhtml+xml"
indent="yes"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system=
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"/>
