the mimetypes for .xsl and xul are also in common usage.

I wasn't complaining about the x- types 
(application/x-javascript); they are fine. I was 
complaining about using unregistered types without an x- 
prefix, specifically

+     '.xsl': 'text/xsl',
+     '.xul': 'text/xul'

These are not valid MIME types, unless I'm missing 
something.

More generally, I was requesting that the IANA registry is 
analysed and this patch is brought in sync with it.

The x-* mimetypes are common used although they might not
be officially assigned. I would not remove these from the list.
This patch also relates to bug #439710 for better support of
user-defined mime-types.

I believe some of these types are not "official", in the 
sense that they are supported by an RFC; types that are 
not defined in an RFC MUST use the x- prefix. E.g. in what 
RFC is "text/xsl" or "text/xul" defined?

IOW, only types listed in 
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/
should be supported without x-prefix.

Could you please review the entire list of known types 
with this respect, and update the patch accordingly?
