Hmm, I'm not altogether convinced (though want to be :-). It says "The
Internet Media Type..." not "An Internet Media Type...", so surely anything
that presumed to interpret other typed data as RDF would in effect be
asserting "The Internet Media Type / MIME type for RDF is "application/xml",
which would be at least a contradiction.
