Hi Sven. your ZnMimeType>>isBinary method is wrongly treating application/xml-dtd and other XML application subtypes like xml-external-parsed-entity as binary instead of text. To be consistent, if you're going to treat one applicaiton/xml type as text, you should treat them all that way. I attached a patch that fixes it by treating "-" as a subtype separator too.

Excellent extension, I integrated it in Zinc upstream, bleedingEdge === Name: Zinc-Resource-Meta-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.30 Author: SvenVanCaekenberghe Time: 29 December 2013, 12:05:01.614278 pm UUID: 18ce8118-2e25-43f1-8524-0d6b817be8cb Ancestors: Zinc-Resource-Meta-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.29 Extend ZnMimeType>>#isBinary to recognize application/xml-dtd (and more from http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3023.txt) as non-binary by using both + and - as subtype separators when looking for xml (thanks monty); Extend ZnMimeTypeTests>>testIsBinary to cover the new functionality === Name: Zinc-Resource-Meta-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.18 Author: SvenVanCaekenberghe Time: 29 December 2013, 12:05:30.83878 pm UUID: 4c2e4a78-c496-41b7-9f5c-cd90b982a9d6 Ancestors: Zinc-Resource-Meta-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.17 Extend ZnMimeType>>#isBinary to recognize application/xml-dtd (and more from http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3023.txt) as non-binary by using both + and - as subtype separators when looking for xml (thanks monty); Extend ZnMimeTypeTests>>testIsBinary to cover the new functionality ===

Also, my lack of commit messages is because if I'm just making some small changes to private classes/methods or refactoring, I don't see the point in detailing it for users who don't (and shouldn't) care. They should just focus on the public API (which I haven't changed much).

Hmm, I think that for both the community and for yourself in half a year it is important to write commit messages like the one I wrote above. It does not have to go into much detail, something like ‘refactored the DOM parser for entities’ is enough - it will help hunting for regressions and other problems. The writeup of your changes that was in the email is already very helpful. BTW, thanks for working on XML parser, it is an important tool.
