Non-textual MIME type

Hello everybody,

in the Subversion manual 1.4 I found this bit in Chapter 3,
File
Portability, File Content Type

" for versioned files whose svn:mime-type property is
set to a
non-textual MIME type (generally, something that doesn't
begin with
text/, though there are exceptions)..."

I would like to know more about those
"exceptions". Is it saying that
there are some MIME types that DOES start with text/ which
are treated
as non-textual, or that there are some MIME types that DOES
NOT start
with text/ but are still treated as textual? Does anybody
know?
