Because of this all the browsers seem to have registered themselves as applications to open the application/xml MIME type. The fix? IMHO it would be enough with adding a "<glob weight="60" pattern="*.xml"/>" to the application/xhtml+xml entry from /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml. But if done plain XML file are detected as "application/xhtml+xml". So IMHO there is a bug in the MIME guessing code. But the same error happens with both kmimetypefinder and xdg-mime. And it's my understanding that they use independent code to do the guessing. The recommended way to do the guessing is documented at http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec.... And here it seems to be the first problem: it talks about "magic rule" but ignores the "root-XML" information. IMHO the root-XML info should be used as any other "magic rule" (perhaps the standard should allow to set its priority?) 1- Doesn't applies 2- After this pass we have two options: application/xml and application/xhtml+xml 3- From the magic (including the root-XML) we get: 3a) For plain XML files: only application/xml 3b) For XHTML files with the XML declaration: application/xml, application/xhtml+xml and text/html 3c) For XHTML files without the XML declaration: application/xhtml+xml and text/html 4- For: 4a) Plain XML files: the MIME type is application/xml 4b) XHTML files with the XML declaration: the MIME type could be application/xml or application/xhtml+xml 4c) XHTML files without the XML declaration: the MIME type is application/xhtml+xml 5- For XHTML files with the XML declaration: application/xhtml+xml is selected since it has glob match with a higher weight. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
