A comment to the paragraph below was recently added via http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/ZPT.stx#2-20

---------------

    If you set the content-type to 'text/html' then Zope parses your
    template using HTML compatiblity mode which allows HTML's "loose"
    markup. In this mode, it's possible to enter "non-well-formed"
    HTML into a Page Template.  However, if you set your content-type
    to something other than 'text/html' then Zope assumes that your
    template is well formed XML. Zope also requires an explicit TAL
    and METAL XML namespace declarations in order to emit XML.  For
    example, if you wish to emit XHTML, you might put your namespace
    declarations on the 'html' tag::

      <html xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
        xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal">

       The second reference to text/html in this paragraph should be text/xml.
