One more thing, regarding application/xml vs text/xml
I think I'll skip application/xml for now and just include text/xml
Assuming application/xml is compressed XML such as Open office documents
and text/xml as uncompressed XML
Nope! They're both uncompressed textual XML!
Generally though, when defining a new xml-based filetype, the spec authors
decide if it's going to be vaguely readable-editable or opaque, then pick
if they go for text/xml or application/xml as the parent type. Can be a
bit random which they go for though! See
