While you're on the subject, and because I know you have seriously
consistent views on this: what does the word "representations" mean
there?  My gray understanding is the community on the whole has no
consensus here, so a not-well-defined term is used.  But I suspect it
is well-defined for you.

Try replacing "representations of" with 

   (1) "content (MIME Entities) associated with"

   (2) "serializations of"

I have trouble finding a consistent and useful meaning of
"representation" between those two.
