Indeed, that appears to be the case with the ones I'm using.  Whether 
that's true over all is of course open to debate.  But you hit on the 
more important issue of how a server determines outgoing MIME type.  
This is usually the file type suffix.  And, if everything is labelled 
using .XML this is going to be problematic.
