According to section 8.17 of the (proposed) RFC 3023 ( 
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc3023.txt ) the right mime type for xslt should 
be "application/xslt+xml"

As it not yet a standard, "text/xml" or "application/xml" should be used 
(cf. section 1 of XSLT Recommendation ( http://www.w3c.org/TR/xslt ).

However, KDE cannot use these xml mime types for xslt, therefore we should 
better use draft RFC 3023 (or perhaps "application/x-xslt+xml")

As for fo files, I would propose to use: "application/x-xslfo+xml"

In general the problem that we face here is that for W3C everything are XML 
files, so that there is no need for new mime types. However, KDE needs more 
mime types. Therefore I suggest to use new private mime types.

Note: "application" does not really mean anymore that it is linked to an 
application. It has shifted to be for any form of document, in paritcular if 
the document does not look good when displayed as text to a standard user.
