I had problems like this when I was dealing with (i.e. figuring it out to
document it) a firewall.  The firewall came with a large menu of MIME
types, many of which I'd never seen, but admins had to add new ones by
hand.  text/xml and application/xml are the least of the problems to be
faced; think of all the new types that will come out of standards built on
XML.

Hmm... maybe it's worth an article.
