The whole point of registering a format under text/* is that a dumb interpreter can treat it as plain text, expecting CR/LF line terminators not too infrequently, if it doesn't know what to do with it. Furthermore, unless the charset parameter says otherwise it can treat it as ASCII. the rock-bottom Internet interoperability default. Dumb interpreters rarely, if ever, should treat XML as plain text (displaying it as-is, for example). -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c...
