Is there a MIME type for clear text signatures?

Hi!

shared-mime-info currently recognize files beginning with
`-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----` as having the MIME type
`application/pgp-signature` [1].

According to RFC3156 [2] which defined `application/pgp-signature`,
I believe this to be wrong. Can any one confirm this?

In that case, is there a MIME type that has been defined for clear text
signatures?

Thanks!
