The relationship between URIs and mime types is an open issue at the
W3C. One approach under consideration is just to define a mapping
between them. Another is to attach a URI after the application/xml type.

There is nothing wrong with URIs but they are just not what is used on
the Internet for media type designation. I personally don't think that
XML should be a special case. Either types in general should move to
URIs or XML should use MIME types like everything else.
