You're right. I had it wrong: the HTTP header overrides the content of
the document.

If you want to be lazy with your code, you could use a Filter to set the
Content-Type of all responses to text/html before the servlet gets a
chance to set anything. If the servlet overrides it, everything is okay.
If not, the Content-Type remains set to text/html.

It's basically the same as using DefaultType in httpd but would require
you to do more work. :(
