application/xml treated as binary

I've noticed that setting a file's svn:mime-type to application/xml
causes svn to treat the file as binary. This seems like a bug. Does svn
treat all application/* as binary?

Subversion treats all non-"text/*" as binary, with a couple  
exceptions; see:

http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#binary-files

The request to handle application/xml as text was discussed at length  
last month; see this thread:

http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2008-02/0096.shtml

I'm afraid I don't remember the outcome of the discussion.
