You could, and we do (http://jangle.org/) and it would be immensely
helpful to put it in:

<content type="application/marcxml+xml"><record>...</record></content>

rather than:
<content type="application/xml"><record>...</record></content>

to know that's what's being transported (without having to know
Jangle's extensions).
