The draft does not really explain why there is a need for such a
type in the first place; why don't you use application/xhtml+xml?

What are the processing requirements for this parameter?

A word seems to be missing here. It is not really clear why the draft
refers to RFC 2854 rather than RFC 3023 or RFC 3236.

So the extensions to XHTML have no security considerations?

I don't think .html and .htm should be listed here, they are already in
common use for application/xhtml+xml and text/html.

It is unclear what this means, RFC 2854 and RFC 3236 have inconsistent
rules for fragment identifiers and XHTML+Voice adds new ID attributes
so that the fragment identifier namespaces are different.

Section 4 has no security considerations...
>7. References
The draft should be clear about which of these references are
informative and which normative.
