XSP mime type?

AxKit uses mime types to identify what processor to use at each
stage. I've been using application/x-xsp as the mime type for XSP, but I
was wondering if anyone had thought about a definitive mime type for XSP
in the cocoon group?

Please CC all replies as I'm not on the cocoon-dev list.

Hmmmm, I'd consider this a bad practice.

With namespaces, you have the ability to include several different
content types inside one file. For example, FO + SVG + MathML.

Mime-type is too weak of a concept to stand the power you need.

We carefully tried to avoid messing with mime-types inside the pipeline
(only after the serialization where all layers are flattened into one)
but "application/x-xsp" is good enough for me if you really need it.

Not x- prefixed ones.

Doesn't Mimetypes has to be officially registered somewhere?
