Note the following thread from August 1999: application/x-haskell has
already been proposed and used.

"application" seems more appropriate for Fritz Ruehr's goal here,
which is a script that can be clicked on to make it run (using
runhugs, presumably).  I can see your reasoning for "text", though.
What is used for Javascript code at present?  Or for C source code?
