it does break things, spectacularly badly in some cases.

for an analysis of why using xml syntax served as text/xml so badly
mangled

Any XDM serialser should work, it may be directly accessible from an api
but if nt, just this xslt stylesheet

<xsl:styleseet vesion=...>
 <xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:styleshet>

assuming the elements are in no namespace, or add a simple template
matching * to take things out of a namespace if they are in the xhtml
namespace.

That's the one that is perhaps most important to fix, if you use
