Yes, because schemas change relatively frequently, just as with XML
schemas.  I think media types are the right level of granularity here.
Containers can reject stuff that won't duck-cast(*) to anything they
recognize.

I don't see the need.  But if you wanted to sketch out an example
to prove me wrong, feel free.

FWIW, I think this is actually an issue generic to forms language at

here.
