Okay, this description really irritates me. HTML is a language. XML is
a meta-language. Generating a directory listing in HTML is a
well-defined (though not totally specified) problem. Generating a
directory listing in XML is not.

Are we talking about XHTML here, or something else?

I agree that it doesn't make much sense for it to be a server-level
decision.

If we are talking about XHTML (which I can't really tell), then it is
quite possible to generate stuff which is both valid HTML and valid
XHTML.
