This is a change since RFC 2301/2302 was published but not since the RFC
2301/3302/3250 update. This document is intended to be part of an update to the
latter set of documents, not the former.

It is perhaps the case that 3250 should have stated that it updated 2301's
reference to image/tiff. But it is too late to change that now, and I don't
think it is reasonable to penalize the group for that omission.

Isn't this the removal of a feature, and hence allowed? Or am I missing
something?
