I believe you are correct; I just checked the page source and there is 
indeed a 'content=text/html' line in the header of the page.  
Unfortunately, the page is still slogged with a '.dll' extension.

Has anyone else on the list encountered this problem?  What extension do 
your EBay pages slog with by default?
