No. HTML is not formally recognized to be a 'Structured Syntax' of upon which semantically richer standalone mediatypes can be built [1]. This is because existing deployments favor a different approach of imbuing additional semantics inside HTML documents -- microformats -- which place the mechanism of understanding on an opportunistic parser, vs. a restrained one that only executes if its preferred mediatype is advertised. Appendix A of RFC 3023 [2] offers a thorough treatment of this matter. Not defining +html is essentially a concession that enables the two schools of thought to coexist side-by-side.

This is the same difference in schools that I express in a different comment [3] in this thread.

No, because this web page isn't using a specialized format.

But if it were using XHTML, then the proper mime type would be application/xhtml+xml.
