For example it also means that I can't say

Accept: image/cgm;Version=4;ProfileId="webcgm";q=0.8,
image/cgm;Version=1;ProfileId=*;q=0.3

The only thing that looks wrong here is the 'ProfileId=*' bit.
But http allows for selection based on parameters.

What do other folks think about being able to say "all the 
stuff with -xml"

The parameter approach would have text/xml and application/xml
match generic xml, and, eg.,

 application/xml;app="svg"

match svg in particular.
