Hi Ming Fei,
Looking in the spec I found this sentence:
All XML streams have the media type
"text/xml".
Another thing to address IMHO. It makes no sense at all to make
all XML files use the same media-type in a format where most things are stored
as XML.
Best regards,

Wouter,
Seems the question you asked are implementation specific. For Symphony, you had
better raise you issue in Symphony support forum. For OpenOffice, you had
better raise you issue in OpenOffice issuezilla.
I tried for both Symphony 1.3 and OpenOffice3.1. They have the same result like
you said for the 2 items. So these depend on OpenOffice code base
implementation. For the first, the file name is GUID like structure, that may
be a problem for someone, but may be not a problem for someone else. Also, ODF
spec does not define how the picture file name should be like. For the second,
does not specify the media type for wmf file, this also an implementation
specific issue. In the wikimedia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type),
does not list wmf as common media type. If we think wmf is a common use media
type, that needs implementation improvement, not the standard issue. Anyway,
thanks report the issues.
