I could only test it in Sodipodi 0.30, both files looked the same. In Carbon 
0.0.1 both could not be opened, but I guess I should update. OpenOffice 1.0 
could not open both, but did not open the most simple ones either.

Mime_empty is really a template file. It would be very good to have the 
repaired version in cvs.

Cordialemente,
