This should work -- at least, I've done it before -- but it's possible
we're a bit more strict about checking the syntax of svn:mime-type now.
Let's see...nope, we're not more strict. All we require is that there's
a "/" ini the prop value, and that it ends with an alphanumeric value.
So yes, you can do that.

(And I seem to recall that we text for textiness by checking if the
value starts with "text/", so that'll work, too.)
