There's code built into the registrar to guess certain text/* MIME types. It is mostly there for text/plain, since there's no obvious way to write a rule for that. If the buffer is long enough, the result has a priority of 0.25. So your rule should have a priority greater than that, if it shall override the built-in code.
BTW, I'm 99% certain that on BeOS the BeBook included a page documenting the MIME sniffer rules (IIRC as a "special topic"). Our BeBook version seems to be lacking that page.
