As long as the author has some way of providing the Content Type then
I have no problem with the HTTP header being taken as correctly. And
I do indeed prefer to see exisitng naming structures maintained.
Character set is important since currently there is no standard file
extension to indicate a Unicode encoding...
I may have to look at Apache to see how it does its resolution and
may suggest to the server developers I know to adopt soemthing
similar. But a standard in this respect would be great!
