RE: [ubl-dev] Re: [ubl-dev] Q: What mime type for UBL/ebxml with smtp ?

[<MCRAWFORD@lmi.org>]

As promised, we discussed this issue today during the UBL TC F2F in
Copenhagen.  We do not feel that mime-type is in the purview of UBL as
it belongs to a different  layer in the OSI stack.  We recommend that
you address this to the appropriate messaging standards group - i.e. the
OASIS ebMS TC if you are working in an ebXML environment.

One caution is that the 'text' part of text/xml indicates that the
document contains US-ASCII and no other, which has caused a huge amount
of discussion on other XML lists.

(Example: 
http://lists.ebxml.org/archives/ebxml-transport/200012/msg00099.html)

Perhaps application/xml is a better generic option.
