No, I meant "application/xml".

As I see it:

1) Use of "application/xml" should be accompanied by atom:label and an 
XML processing instruction involving a stylesheet.

2) Use of "application/atom+xml" should not be accompanied by an 
atom:lable or an XML processing instruction involving a stylesheet.

3) Use of "text/xml" should generally be avoided.

Furthermore, use of the charset parameter on the content-type header is 
entirely optional; but if present, the value specified should match the 
encoding an XML parser would infer if only the Byte-Order Mark and 
encoding declaration were used (if present) to determine the character 
encoding.
