Sets the document MIME encoding that is sent to the browser. This usually will be text/html because most browsers cannot yet accept the proper mime settings for XHTML: application/xhtml+xml, and to a lesser extent application/xml and text/xml. See the W3C note (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/) for more details.

void setMimeEncoding ( $type )

Set the mime type of the current document.

global $mainframe;

$document =& JFactory::getDocument();
$document->setMimeEncoding( 'application/xml' );

echo "MIME Type: " . $document->getMimeEncoding();

Might produce:

MIME Type: application/xml
