Description

According to RFC 3023, "if an XML document is readable by casual users, text/xml is preferable to application/xml. MIME user agents (and web user agents) that do not have explicit support for text/xml will treat it as text/plain, for example, by displaying the XML MIME entity as plain text. Application/xml is preferable when the XML MIME entity is unreadable by casual users".

Several other projects supported by Red Hat (Drools, Infinispan, OpenShift) already comply with this RFC.
