I'm sorry for going down a rat hole. My reaction was to Keith's
statements...

and I was just trying to point out that text/* is fine for some things...
for example text/xml *if* the text is generic/not application specific.
For example, if I have a multipart message with an XML document, and
a CSS stylesheet, I think text/xml would be fine for the XML (and
perhaps application/css for the CSS ;-)).

Apart from that I agree with the general direction.
