[topicmapmail] Wiki markup datatype and media types

[Robert Cerny]

Murray, Lars,

Thank you for your answers. I must apologize, my message was unclear. 
Question 2 should not be seen in the context of question 1.

Let me give you an example: instead of making the quite general 
statement that an occurrence, whose value contains a XHTML document, is 
of type XML, specifying it more precisly with the datatype 
application/xhtml+xml?
