I'm glad this matter is getting a little attention. For me, I am not interested in theoretical "correctness" of the MIME type, but rather behavior of my browser. When a VOTable comes, I would like pretty-print XML. Then when I install a VOTable viewer (eg Topcat), should be able to make it so the VOTable starts my specialized viewer, but other XML is still pretty-printed.
It would be nice to have a server that delivers that various options that have been mooted for the VOTable MIME type. Then we can ask this WG to evaluate the options on their own environment. Once the results are in for different browsers, we can select the MIME types that generate the proper behavior.
