As a result of consideration of recent developments in the area of
client behaviour with respect to Content-Type information, including
1) A proposal for an HTTP header feature named 'authoritative';
2) A proposal for content-type sniffing in HTML 5;
3) The evolution of both client and server behaviours in practice
the TAG decided at its most recent telcon [1] to reopen the relevant
TAG issue, namely contentTypeOverride-24 [2] [3].
The current state of the TAG's position in this area is given by the
approved finding entitled "Authoritative Metadata" [4].
Contributions are invited on this topic.
