Well, e.g. RFC 3236 states:

[...]
  It is not recommended that the ".xml" extension (defined in
  [XMLMIME]) be used, as web servers may be configured to
  distribute such content as type "text/xml" or
  "application/xml".  [XMLMIME] discusses the unreliability of
  this approach in section 3.  Of course, should the author
  desire this behaviour, then the ".xml" extension can be used.
