Hi,
we discussed the issue of content sniffing again during the HTTPbis WG 
meeting and the general feeling was that we were going to far with the 
statement:
"Note that neither the interpretation of the data type of a message nor 
the behaviors caused by it are defined by HTTP; this potentially 
includes examination of the content to override any indicated type 
("sniffing")."
The proposal is to remove this altogether.
See <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/155#comment:3>
Feedback appreciated,
Julian
