What in the world? It's called APP Outline Format.

Um, it's obviously inadequate for an outliner (text editor)
application. If I wanted a format for that, I would use OPML or a
custom format with even more features (like every other outliner app).
I guess I'll rename that 'text' attribute so people don't get the
wrong idea.

I've never need to dispatch on MIME type for this, and if I did, the
proposed type would be just fine. Loading by MIME type doesn't give
you the URI of the file, which is what you actually want. If there's a
link=rel "introspection" somewhere, that's all that's needed.
