If you encrypt a PNG, the > resulting instance might look like: Sorry, I forgot about 'MimeType'. That changes things. I agree that the parameter is redundant, and therefore I'd recommend against it. I've just had a quick look at the spec, but I need to spend more time thinking about MimeType & Type, to make sure that it handles this properly. For example, I would think that a recommendation to not guess the value of MimeType, but to reuse the media type (if known) of the content, would be a good idea. More later, if I find anything requiring comment. Thanks.
