What’s wrong with it? That’s not per se faulty or forbidden – au contrair: application/xhtml+xml is the per HTML5 specification officially recommended mimetype for serving HTML5 as valid XML (XML serialization of HTML5), officially named as XHTML5, see:

w3.org: HTML5 – A vocabulary and associated APIs for HTML and XHTML
