There is no notion in RFC 3023 that text/xml and application/xml refer
respectively to document- and data-oriented XML.  The differences
between the two are primarily about character set handling, and I
suspect a lot of people at the IETF would like to see text/xml disappear
completely.

There are a lot of reasons why not - visit ietf-xml-mime@i... for a
more detailed exploration. (Archives at
