Not quite the issue.  VRML, which is not XML-compatible, is application/vrml.
If VRML is reformulated to be XML-compatible (in a new version), do we
then register application/vrml-xml?  I think we do.

If/when that happens, it's not going to be called VRML any more; it's going
to be a new kind of thing.  I believe currently they go by the internal
monicker of "x3d"; so that would be

model/x3d-xml

The idea is to avoid the existence of both foo/bar and foo/bar-xml - SVG,
for example, plans to (already has?) register only image/svg-xml. -Tim
