Nothing wrong with Atom in this case, imo.
Sorry, wrong. Using +xml at the end of a Mime Type is a good convention, but it is only a convention. There is no requirement for a Mime Type that uses XML to end in +xml. Also, the +xml convention was established several years later than XML itself. So I think that Atom is a bit out on it's egde if it says 'if you don't have a +xml Mime Type, you're not XML'.
