Rather ironic that an application that uses RDF extensively internally
can't cope with the mime type externally. Incidentally, has anyone found
a workaround for this, perhaps by hacking mimeTypes.rdf?
I'm not sure all this worrying about mime types is worth it. If the
first line begins "<?xml" and a line shortly after that begins
"<rdf:RDF", you can be pretty sure it's RDF+XML. As a scutter looking
for rdf files (as opposed to html with embedded rdf) you can probably
discard anything else.
