Are you also against specialized media types?  Or, you would like 
to make clear that specialized media types do not solve all problems?

It's not clear that specialized media types solve any problem at all,
in the case of XML that already contains a document declaration.

For other situations, specialized media types should be introduced
with caution, since a world in which every kind of document has its
own media types is one in which there is little interoperability.
