Not quite: it's assumed to be binary if the mime type isn't text/*. It's
perfectly OK to set the mime type to image/png, for example, and the
client will still treat it as binary. Look at

Look at libsvn_subr/validate.c: svn_mime_type_is_binary. You should just
use that function, because sometime in the future we'll have to be a bit
smarter about the mime types (because of such eminently "wise" decisions
as decidint that XHTML should be "application/xhtml+xml", even though
it's obviously text).
