Whoops. Quite obvious really. You must use:

   def index(req):
	return "I am in index()"
	
   def bar(req):
	return "I am in bar()"

When you you use req.write(), the headers are automatically flushed,  
so the
setting of req.content_type by mod_publisher after the published  
function
returns has no affect.

In other words, if you are going to use req.write(), you must set  
req.content_type
yourself.
