The problem is that not all programming languages or machine-readable
languages have a media type (actually only a very few ones have:
text/css, text/html, application/ecmascript, application/json,
model/vrml, application/smil, XML types and that's almost all, at
least if we restrict the list to registered media types: lisp is known
as application/x-lisp, latex is application/x-latex, Troff is known as
application/x-troff but man-pages are application/x-troff-man, etc.)
