Comment (by donn):

 I'd be tempted to change this to a bug against the mime sniffing process.
 Haiku might take a tip from the httpd server, which gets better results
 for everyone by classifying everything as "text/html".  At least where the
 file name is .html.  I guess in practice this is a broader category that
 includes the various specifications.

 For example if people search for html files, how likely is it that they
 will care which specification the files claim to adhere to?

 Conversely, for files that really should have this distinct application
 /xhtml-xml type, probably should have a different icon as well, right?
