why text/xml?

Dear colleagues,

I am a little surprised to see Part 2 of SOAP 1.2 still 
uses text/xml.

As a co-author of RFC 3023 (XML Media Types), I have repeatedly 
asked not to use text/xml.  I must say that I am a little 
dissapointed.

Please let me know why the XML Protocol WG has decided to 
ignore RFC 3023 (and arguably RFC 2046), which is a Proposed 
Standard of IETF.  I will then forward the answer to the IETF-XML-MIME
mailing list.

Sincerely yours,

MURATA Makoto
