Please let us stick with the rationale for having text/xml and
application/xml in the first place: the former would be useful
in all the cases where transcoding/newline-fiddling/defaulting-to-
text-viewer was useful and the latter was useful when we want to
prevent trancoding/newline-fiddling/defaulting-to-text-viewer.
No. Application/xml was introduced since some XML is not
readable for casual users. As Ned Freed pointed out long time ago,
text/* is inappropriate for something unreadable for casual users.
