I think it's clear that this is a point where theory and current practice do not match. Also, the situation might be much better if at least some of the browsers would allow the user to opt-out of content sniffing, as RoyF suggested multiple times. Documenting what User Agents do today with respect to sniffing is certainly a good idea. What's not clear to me is why this needs to be part of the HTML5 activity. If the browser vendors want a common spec summarizing what their products need to do today, fine. But why does this have to be part of HTML5? Best regards, Julian
