One reason for the problems with text/xml was that the original MIME default of US-ASCII was enforced. This made it impossible to serve XML documents with internal 'charset' information only as text/xml.
The odd text/xml case is different, there's a MUST somewhere in the text/xml spec. But nobody treats text/html as "default Latin-1" ignoring the internal declaration.
FWIW, I don't know of any software (apart from maybe the Universal Feed Parser) that doesn't treat text/xml as it treats application/xml. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
