Wine really shouldn't associate with html/xml...
It does so for a (great) convenience, to allow wine apps to open html pages (and also http: links) in native browser.
The association itself is not bad... there are many scenarios where association with winebrowser is desirable: mail client opening attachments, P2P like uTorrent or Soulseek opening downloaded files, etc.
The problem is only when winemenubuilder creates *native* associations for these too. There should be a way to tell winebrowser not to publsh imported extensions... hence my suggestion for a WineImportedExtension prefix to the classes.
If you find current behavior is problematic, can you please confirm or vote this bug?
