How do you set accept headers in remote_function?

How do I set the accept header for an AJAX request from the remote_function helper? I've tried everything I can think of but no dice.

<%= remote_function( # ... :requestHeaders => { :Accept => "application/xml" }, # ... ) %>

What I want: new Ajax.Request(url, {   ...   requestHeaders: { "Accept" : "application/xml"},   ... });

Thanks in advance
