Done, but I noticed that we had been using text/x-das-blah+xml rather than
application/x-das-blah+xml. I left it as text for now, although
'application' seems more correct according to the RFC on MIME media types,
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt which states:
text -- textual information. ...
Other subtypes [i.e., anything besides 'plain'] are to
be used for enriched text in forms
where application software may enhance the
appearance of the text...
application -- some other kind of data, typically
either uninterpreted binary data or information to be
processed by an application. ...
