document entities: The media types application/xml or text/xml, or a
more specific media type (see Section 9.6), SHOULD be used.
external DTD subsets: The media type application/xml-dtd SHOULD be
used. The media types application/xml and text/xml MUST NOT be
used.
external parsed entities: The media types application/xml-external-
parsed-entity or text/xml-external-parsed-entity SHOULD be used.
The media types application/xml and text/xml MUST NOT be used
unless the parsed entities are also well-formed "document
entities"
external parameter entities: The media type application/xml-dtd
SHOULD be used. The media types application/xml and text/xml MUST
NOT be used.

XML documents don't always have (and shouldn't always have, IMO) the
application/xml media type. And an XML document is (by the XML
Recommendation) "composed of units called entities." Since some of
those entities may be included by reference, an XML document may be more
than the collection of octets that compose it.
