Thanks.

About the media type, my understanding was that text was for actual text,
not binary that could be decoded into text. If you think another would be
more appropriate, please tell which. If it would be text/x-kate, I'd see that
more for the textual representation, eg:

kate {
  event {
    from 0:0:0 to 0:1:0 "Hello, world!"
  }
}

I quickly had a search and found:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/4_Content-Type.html
which seems to corroborate the use of "text/foo" for actual text. However,
I'm not very familiar with all of this, so I'm happy to be corrected and the
content type to be changed.
