True about the extension, but as you note the Content-Type is also
xhtml.  Then you get into a related question about whether it's a bug
with the website or the browsers if a browser attempts to display that
not-quite-xhtml as if it is xhtml.

A link to /contribute/web/ or README.texi alongside the source code
link is another way it could be made less confusing.  Or there could
be some link in the source file that gets hidden when the page is
compiled.  Lots of possible resolutions.  Good luck choosing.
