SVG and XHTML have adopted the +xml suffix, the application/xhtml+xml
MIME Type registration is in Last Call and the SVG 1.0 recommendation
defines image/svg+xml, registration has not started yet, but it's very
unlikely that a different MIME Type will be registered. I am not aware
of any post-RFC 3023 MIME Type registration, where the +xml suffix has
not been used, at least not in the IETF tree.

HTH,
