+        or <acronym>RDF</acronym> (a type of structured <acronym>XML</acronym>

+        In order for your users to see these pages correctly, Apache must 
+        send them with the right <acronym>MIME</acronym> type. To do this, 
+        add the following lines to your Apache configuration, either in the 
+        <computeroutput>&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</computeroutput> section for your
+        Bugzilla, or in the <computeroutput>&lt;Directory&gt;</computeroutput>
