OK, this needs clarifying:  I'll add something to my notes.

I am thinking of something like an Internet fax scenario, where an
organization may have a variety of internal Ifax receivers, and may wish to
publish some common level of capability that will be accepted (e.g. black
and white, grey scale but no colour; resolutions up to 200dpi). This might
be a way for dealing with "hunt group" problems within an organization.

I note that this is a scenario that is probably not relevant to HTTP-style
transfers.
