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.
