Copied over from an unanswered StackOverflow thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42542433/why-does-python-mimetype-guess-xsl-when-passed-an-xml-file): When passed a file with a mimetype application/xml, the Python std lib mimetypes.guess_extension method guesses an .xsl extension. This is actually hard-coded in. This seems wrong to me. But what do I know?

Perhaps a duplicate of Issue 1043134?
