type[1].

I think I understand why it was rejected in the discussions for RFC 3023, and I think those reasons were valid in that context. But I don't think that means the idea is completely without merit. I think there is some concern about how well Content-type parameters are handled by deployed MIME applications, but that seems less of an issue for newer Web applications.

I remain agnostic.
