Bug: svn:mime-type and svn:eol-style on UTF-16 XML files

1st problem:

I have an XML file in UTF-16 encoding, little endian. It starts with
a BOM FFFE at the beginning of its first line, which is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

The "svn add" command sets the property svn:mime-type to
application/octet-stream. I consider this a bug. It prevents the "svn
diff" command from working. The problem is on a Windows system, and the
file has CRLF line endings.

2nd problem:

To work around the first problem, I can change the svn:mime-type to
text/xml,
then the "svn diff" works fine. But it is not possible to set the
svn:eol-style to CRLF, which is the line endings style used by the file.
