OpenDocument Draft 3: Use "application/xml" instead of "text/xml"
Hello,

Section 1.7 of OpenDocument 1.0 Committee Draft 3 states: "For office 
documents that conform to this specification but are not contained in a 
package, it is RECOMMENDED to use the MIME type text/xml."

May I respectfully suggest that the "application/xml" MIME type is 
mentioned instead?

Although "text/xml" is a legal media type, the W3C recommends against 
its use, and there's a good chance it will be depreciated in future. 
(Over the web, anything advertised with text/* media types can be 
transcoded by intermediate proxies, etc. which is potentially problematic.)

Regards,

Dave
