I noticed the same thing some time ago..
Seems like Zope delivers the pages as html/text if they start with
<HTML>, but uses application/octet-stream when they start with a DTD
 like
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> ) ..
I am not entirely happy with this, as the standard requires me to have a
DTD, but i have found no other solution than to avoid it alltogether,
atleast while i am still in a development phase..
If anyone knows of a solution that allows me to keep the DTD, i'd be
happy to hear about it...
