Sets the document MIME encoding that is sent to the browser. This usually will be text/html because most browsers cannot yet accept the proper mime settings for XHTML: application/xhtml+xml, and to a lesser extent application/xml and text/xml. See the W3C note (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/) for more details.
