Subject: Safari/WebCore Content Sniffing

Mozilla does content sniffing on text/plain if the content includes 
control characters ("invalid text/plain content").  Is this incorrect?  
Is it a security hole -- for example, does it introduce XSS holes or 
allow executable files to be run without a proper warning?
