I have no idea how the information in the sitemap would be made available to 
the serializer; if anyone has a clue, I'd appreciate hearing it. In any 
case, I'm not sure why the serializer would ever return anything besides 
vnd.ms-excel or application/vnd.ms-excel

Correct. When I was implementing that method, I searched the net for an 
appropriate mime type and that was the only one I found that was even 
remotely appropriate.
