I'm not an expert on any of these formats, but would point out that
syntactically MIME content-types are only a two level hierarchy, but you
could name it something like "text/sgml-html".  Also, if the format
isn't really human-readable, you probably don't want to put it under
"text", but are better off with "application/sgml-html" or something
like that.
