I prefer standards over opinions:

<quote>
5.1. Internet Media Type

XHTML Documents which follow the guidelines set forth in Appendix C,
"HTML Compatibility Guidelines" may be labeled with the Internet Media
Type "text/html" [RFC2854], as they are compatible with most HTML
browsers. Those documents, and any other document conforming to this
specification, may also be labeled with the Internet Media Type
"application/xhtml+xml" as defined in [RFC3236]. (..)
</quote> http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/

So just follow the compatibility guidelines (we want people to be able
to read the FAQ anyway) and use text/html.
