By the way, I initially tried to set the default for application/xml by
using xdg-mime instead of directly creating a defaults.list file. But
that doesn't work, because xdg-mime uses a grep command that fails if
defaults.list doesn't exist. That strikes me as a bug. I would expect
xdg-mime to create the file if it doesn't exist.
Patch attached.
