As far as it goes, that's a perfectly reasonable way of doing it, however I would counsel you to forget about trying to detect whether a browser explicity states it will accept XHTML as some (such as IE) don't advertised themselves as accepting 'application/xhtml+xml' will display XHTML if sent with an text/html content-type but don't display it properly if sent with the 'application/xhtml+xml' type. On the other hand there are others (such as galeon) that do advertise the xhtml content-type but do not display it correctly (in the absence of a stylesheet).
This really goes back to the old browser detecting thing, which was similarly a bad idea. Produce your output to the standard and test with as many browsers as you can, b ut don't try making different output for them as you will never be able to keep up.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
