 Every OpenMath encoding needs a MIME type.  I am not familiar with binary
 formats, but for the XML encoding, let me suggest
 `application/openmath+xml`, which follows the standard recommentation.

 (Background: I'm currently writing on HTTP content negotiation involving
 OpenMath content.  A generic MIME type `text/xml` would be too fuzzy, as
 that could also subsume other formats, like MathML or OMDoc.)
