Accept states that media ranges can be overridden by more specific media ranges or specific media types and if more than one media range applies to a given type, the most specific reference has precedence and gives the following example: > 1. text/plain;format=flowed > 2. text/plain > 3. text/* > 4. */* > > What is the precedence of media ranges that have a wildcard subtype and a parameter?

Out of curiosity: have you *ever* seen something like that in practice? It implies that there are parameters that exist across multiple media types; "format" certainly does only apply to text/plain.
