You actually mean application/xml not text/xml
Well, no. I use text/xml and have done for nearly 5 years, and it works fine.
it does, but in 2006 it was upgraded to application/rss+xml for all rss
versions; all the major readers and browsers recognise this and it's the
first choice for rss autodiscovery; second up is application/xml, and
finally for backwards compatibility text/xml.
the new type was introduced as application/xml had some nuances with
charector encoding definition and this is an integral part of an rss
feed for it to be valid it's charset must match the content.

it's the same for xhtml pages:
"This document summarizes the best current practice for using various
Internet media types for serving various XHTML Family documents. In
summary <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/#summary>,
'application/xhtml+xml' *SHOULD* be used for XHTML Family documents, and
the use of 'text/html' *SHOULD* be limited to HTML-compatible XHTML 1.0
documents. 'application/xml' and 'text/xml' *MAY* also be used, but
whenever appropriate, 'application/xhtml+xml' *SHOULD* be used rather
than those generic XML media types."

And its alot better to use DOMDocument in PHP5 for XML Creation rather
than hardcode everything.
DOMDocument would be overkill.
yup
