I am pleasantly surprised to see a lot more information than before. I should send this URL to one of my friends (a Ph. D in chemistry)!

Thus, text/xml is appropriate for XML documents. (The reason that application/xml is introduced is only for transmitting XML documents in UTF-16 or UCS-2 via e-mail.) text/* has the charset parameter, which specifies the encoding method. text/* (implicitly) allows code conversion by proxy servers. application/* does not have the charaset parameter (if not explicitly defined for subtypes). application/* (again, implicitly) disallows code conversion by proxy servers.
