We have been periodically seeing proposals of the form: Reserve a single
content type/subtype value, but then define a parameter that contains the
'real' meaning.
In almost all circumstances, it doesn't help. You would still have to
define the table of valid entries for the parameter and then have IANA
maintain the registry. That's what is already done for content subtype.
We should therefore just use content subtype for situations in which the
value might vary.
