I wrote,
14.1 Accept

   Accept = "Accept" ":" #( media-range [ accept-params ] )
   media-range = ("*/*" |
                  (type "/" "*") |
                  (type "/" subtype)) *( ";" parameter)

Actually, looking over 14.1 suggests that, for http at least, 
the best way to deal with the sub-sub-type problem would be via 
an additional parameter.

I know that this option has been raised before and rejected,
but on the face of it it seems like being the best way of
integrating with conneg.

Cheers,


Miles
