I guess that its safer for the entire portal to default to text/html in case there are portlets which are used which are not xhtml conformant. I'd expect to find the overall content type configurable at a high level, but maybe its something that can be set per page. This might be the most useful as it would mean that one could place non xhtml conformant portlets on other pages.
