Moreover, there are no reasons to use text/xml for Atom.
Many Atom documents will be served with an '.xml' extension. 'xml'
extensions gets mapped to 'text/xml' without any 'charset' paramter.
That's a big problem. How do you propose we solve this? Should we state
that Atom documents MUST NOT be served with the '.xml' extension?
If we recommend '.atom', we have noe idea what Content-Type it will be
served as, but can be pretty sure that 'charset' information will still be
missing. The Content-Type would probably me 'application/octet-stream' or
'text/plain'.
I don't know how this can be solved anywhere else than in the core
specifications defining these behavours. Do you?
