These two are aliases. You might need to check you're using the

*Can you please elaborate? What is the difference between the alias and
the canonical form ?*
From the Tika mimetypes file:
<mime-type type="application/xml">
<acronym>XML</acronym>
<_comment>Extensible Markup Language</_comment>
<tika:link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xml</tika:link>
<tika:uti>public.xml</tika:uti>
<alias type="text/xml"/>
So, the official / canonical mimetype is application/xml, while text/xml
is an alias for it.
MediaTypeRegistry -
http://tika.apache.org/1.5/api/org/apache/tika/mime/MediaTypeRegistry.html
- can give you the aliases for a given canonical type. You can use the
normalize call to turn the alias into the canonical form if needed
Tika doesn't know about this, is it a common alias?
*Not used a lot, but several places list it as an XML type, like here:*
*http://filext.com/file-extension/XML
<http://filext.com/file-extension/XML>*
*or*
*http://help.dottoro.com/lapuadlp.php
<http://help.dottoro.com/lapuadlp.php>*
If they're commonly used aliases, please open a jira and suggest them
*Where should I look to see the right and acceptable mediaType / aliases of
every format ?*
