Concerning removal of the requirement for a content-type field always
being present:

I don't like constants, either.  Theoretically, they provide no information.

In the world of email, however, conformance is such a problematic
issue that I'd like to strongly suggest that the content-type 'default'
ALWAYS be specified.  At a minimum, it makes the implementor take
responsibility for the content-type.
