what do people think - would a MIME roadmap document be worth the trouble of

A document describing common implementation problems and
solutions would certainly be useful. There seem to be
certain mistakes which each new implementor tends to
repeat, like the problem with getting the encoding right
when you copy a previous e-mail into the body of a new
message. Just making implementors aware that this is
a problem that they should tackle would probably mean
that more implementations do it right the first time.
