I'm trying to distribute a non-broken version of the text_xml.py formatter
as a third-party plug-in, but I'm not sure how I register the statement
"please use this formatter instance for requests with mimetype=text/xml".
 Note: I'm willing to instead register for mimetype="application/xml", if
that's easier.

I've read the various pages such as:

 * http://moinmo.in/ApplyingFormatters
 * http://moinmo.in/MoinDev/PluginConcept

They don't really say much about this, except to say "Wiki plugins always
override builtin plugins. For example, if you want to have a different
RecentChanges <http://moinmo.in/RecentChanges> macro, you don't have to
touch MoinMoin <http://moinmo.in/MoinMoin> code, simply write your own
RecentChanges macro and install in the wiki data/plugin/macro/. Your macro
will be used instead of the built-in one."

So I figured I could look at other plugins for a clue, but I don't see any
in the built-ins, and certainly not in text_xml.py, nor in, e.g.
http://moinmo.in/FormatterMarket?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=text_latex-1.6.py
.   The string "mime" appears in neither.

I would have expected FormatterBase initializer to accept a mimetype param,
or for the formatter to call some function to register one or more
mimetypes, but I see nothing of the sort.

I tried to trace it from the other end, i.e. what happens in the show action
when someone requests a specific mimetype, and traced it as far as:

http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.9/file/ced05deb11ae/MoinMoin/Page.py#l1046

but the trail gets pretty lukewarm at that point and I figured there has to
be something obvious I'm missing.

Any clues, please?

Thanks.
