It's not the charset parameter that's harmful, it's its absence. Or rather the mandated policy when it is absent: MUST assume ASCII. But stating that "most XML is not text for casual users" says that there is no loss in deprecating text/*xml (save perhaps transition issues), the text/ top-level buys nothing of value.
