Silly question, but (modulo the invention of a few new
mime types), wouldn't the distinction between,

  Accept: text/xml, text/xsl

and,

  Accept: text/xfo

resolve this issue? Ie. if you're happy to recieve a
presentation-oriented server-side processed document you
use the latter. If you want it undigested, you use the 
former.

Cheers,


Miles
