configure one file with multiple mime types?

How can I configure one file with multiple mime types?

The behaviour I want to achieve is that described here,
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/

- when a file is requested and the user agent advertises
"application/xhtml+xml" in the "Accept:" request header, I want Apache
to respond with a "Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml" response header

- otherwise I want Apache to respond with a "Content-Type: text/html"
response header

I tried configuring both "application/xhtml+xml" and "text/html" mime
types with the "AddType" directive, without success - Apache always
responds with either "Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml" or
"Content-Type: text/html" - regardless of the "Accept:" request header

Use mod_negotiation.

Thanks Nick - but I can't get type map working whatsoever : (

I created "manual.html.var",

URI: manual.html
Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml

I also added to my configuration,

AddHandler type-map .var

Now when I request manual.html.var, with "Accept: application/xhtml+xml",
Apache responds with the contents of manual.html - unfortunately it responds
with "Content-Type: text/html", not "Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml" : (

I think by your suggestion to use mod_negotiation you're suggesting creating a
type map with,

URI: manual.html
Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml, text/html

- or -

URI: manual.html
Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml

URI: manual.html
Content-Type: text/html

^ I tried these as well - Apache always responds with "Content-Type: text/html"
