Replying to myself here.  Yes, apparently MSIE presents the user with  
a "download" dialog when application/xhtml+xml is the MIME type:

   <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticisms_of_Internet_Explorer#XHTML>

It appears there is a hackish workaround:

Have you tried using that workaround?  If so, can you report on its  
effectiveness?
