Here we agree. (I suppose you meant application/xml combined with namespace

I think that a long-term solution is badly needed and

Here we do not agree. I think that the advantages of specialized
media types are rather minor. I am not aware of any complaints
about the lack of specialized media types for W3C XML Schema.
