In 'text/xml vs text/*', we have a specific type on the output,
text/xml;d=1. The fact that 'text/* vs text/*' -> text/*;d=0 does not
seem right to me, the only reason it does not win is due to a specific
text/xml winning over text/*, hence it works after all...
FYI, I did not spot originally that text/* vs text/* would lead to
text/*;d=0. At the moment, in CXF it is text/*;d=1 - and it does not
make a difference, the fact that it is d=1.
