Chuck: As you said yourself, text/xml is too broad (at least for some servers.) Being able to discover the URI for the XML RPC services on a given HTTP host as well as discover the appropriate MIME type allows a diverse range of servers to use their own calling conventions to support the same RPC service.If "text/xml" is too broad and you don't want to tie to a particular URI, I think you should add a parameter to the media type, e.g.:
Content-type: text/xml; service=XML-RPC
