I believe that this is the idea of the XML WG and also the idea of W3C.
However, it is still not cleary presented in the XML PR.

You might want to try this once again in the XML SIG. If everybody agrees
on this, I am more than happy to agree. But I do not want to have
both text/xml and application/xml for HTTP, as this is likely to confuse
people. Is it possible to persuade people *not* to use text/xml?
