This would create an XML native transport protocol (XMTP? or SXTP? hmmm :-). People with validating parsers could turn off acceptance of undefined MIME types etc. e.g. "application/x-whatever". What do people think this mapping should look like. Based upon some of the work we are doing, we have a need for this and will probably develop a mapping ourselves unless there is an interest from others in specifying this.
