Agree, as both of these are text.

So, just to confirm, you reckon it'd be text/x-kate in skeleton for the
embedded Kate stream in Ogg, though it is 8 bit binary data and not
the text source representation ?

If so, I'll post an updated patch soon, but I want to make sure we're on
the same thing as, from he link I posted, text means "such [extra] software
must not be required in order to get the general idea of the content",
which is clearly not the case for kate, as text data is often not even byte
aligned (something I've wondered about whether it'd be a good idea to
autoalign actually, too late now though), and application is "some other
kind of data, typically either uninterpreted binary data or information to
be processed by a mail-based application."

Of course, this is a layman's reading, so if you confirm text/x-kate would
be correct for the binary bitstream, I'll change it so.

Cheers
