Currently the only content that can be directly fed to a Browser is text/html via Browser.setText().  It would be good to be able to set this content and have it interpreted as other MIME types (eg.- .xml).

This would require new API of some sort.  One possibility would be to add a MIME type argument to setText().  Another would be something like setContent(String mimeType, byte[] content), if the ability to set binary data makes sense in this context.
