Looks like a bug in xdg-mime to me. I get the same results with several
other known and registered MIME types.

Ok, that's the problem. If it was XML it must have had the XML
declaration: <?xml version=...?>. But freemind files do not start with
it. So it cannot be of sub-type of application/xml or text/xml. My
fault.
Please play a bit with <sub-class-of type="text/plain"/> (text/html
itself is defined as sub-class-of text/plain too). If that still doesn't
work, you might further increase the pattern priority. JFTR: I would
suggest to be more specific in the pattern to let either a space or a >
follow the '<map' pattern.

Of course: http://standards.freedesktop.org.

dh_installmime
