I didn't write this code, and I don't have the original attribution.

I'm almost certain it came from the Rails Wiki

Put this in application.rb

   def set_content_type
     if not request.env['HTTP_ACCEPT'].nil? and
          ( request.env['HTTP_ACCEPT'].index('application/xhtml+xml') or
            request.env['HTTP_ACCEPT'].index('*/*') )
       headers['Content-Type'] = "application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8"
     else
       headers['Content-Type'] = "text/html; charset=utf-8"
     end
   end

And set after_filter for all controllers.
