RE:  Media type (MIME) of XML in MS Word? in Notepad? when comp

Hi Folks,

 

Henri Sivonen said that if I take this simple XML:

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<root>

      Blah

</root>

 

and put it into Word, then the media type (MIME) is:

 

      application/msword

 

Conversely, if I put the same XML into Notepad, then the media type (MIME) is: 

 

      application/xml

 

Why is that?  Why is it that if I put XML into one editor (Word) I get a media type that is specific to the editor, whereas if I put XML into another editor (Notepad) then I get a media type that is independent of the editor? 

 

Suppose that I put the XML into Wordpad, what is the media type? 

 

What are the general rules for determining the media type of XML?

 

/Roger
