The document suggests new MIME types should be registered for new _formats_, but XBL re-uses the existing XML format, so that doesn't apply to XBL as far as I can tell. What would the use cases be for a new MIME type that couldn't be handled by application/xml? (Consider in particular that XBL's processing model is defined in terms of handling any DOM, not in terms of handling HTTP payloads or similar.)
