OK, then agreed that this allows sniffing of the video data if the type is not provided. Note that Gecko, at least, sniffs all HTTP responses without a Content-Type header, and after that treats them all effectively as metadata-provided. It sounds like doing that is fundamentally incompatible with this specification, though, unless we teach our sniffer to recognize video/audio types by data, not just by extension... -Boris
