adopt application/html.   HTML is at least  eyeballable,  unlike  RTF,
PostScript,  etc.   The same can be said of  text/enriched.

That was always the way I figured we would distinguish the two cases.
So I think they are both properly named.

I predict that text/enriched, when it comes into full use, will be no more
legible than RTF without a viewer.  Less, probably, because of the nesting
rule and the way indentation is handled.

The only thing saving text/enriched now is the scarcity of powerful
composition programs to output it.
