    <add enabled="false" mimeType="*/*"/>
    <add enabled="true"  mimeType="application/atom+xml"/>
    <add enabled="true"  mimeType="application/atom+xml;charset=utf-8"/>
  </dynamicTypes>
  <staticTypes>
     <clear />
     <add enabled="true" mimeType="text/*"/>
     <add enabled="true" mimeType="message/*"/>
     <add enabled="true" mimeType="application/javascript"/>
     <add enabled="true" mimeType="application/atom+xml"/>
     <add enabled="true" mimeType="application/xaml+xml"/>
     <add enabled="true" mimeType="application/json"/>
     <add enabled="false" mimeType="*/*"/>
