[web-annotation] Which is the relationship between the format and the type of External Web resources?

gsergiu has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation:

== Which is the relationship between the format and the type of 
External Web resources? ==
The correspondent of model, message and multipart is missing in the 
current list of classes for type.
Multipart seems to be used for binary streams, model for 3D models and
 message for self-contained messages, being a special subtype 
application/structured data.

1. Should 3D model and BinaryStream classes be added to the possible 
types of external resources?
2. Does it really make sense to use the dctypes instead of MIME types?
 (I think that the mime types have a much higher usage/coverage in web
 resources)
3. There is a clear correlation/correspondence between the Format and 
the Type and a source of inconsistences in the External Resources. I 
think that an explicit note should be written to explain this 
relationship and which is the property that takes precedence in case 
of inconsistent data (I suppose this should be the format, as this is 
more precise and more important information)
