If you you're only sending Profile S or F, I don't see a need to "scare" a receiver into thinking you're sending a higher-complexity TIFF. So, I would recommend striking the last sentence above and replacing it with: To achieve the highest amount of interworking with devices only capable of rendering Profile S or F, "image/tiff-fx" SHOULD NOT be used for Profile S or F; rather, "image/tiff" SHOULD be used. Note that in IETF standards language, implementations can ignore "SHOULD" requirements if they desire. -d
