[Bug 16728] Blob.type

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16728

--- Comment #4 from Boris Zbarsky <bzbarsky@mit.edu> 2012-04-17 20:14:30 UTC ---
RFC 2616 section 3.7 says:

       media-type     = type "/" subtype *( ";" parameter )
       type           = token
       subtype        = token

Section 2.2 says:

       token          = 1*<any CHAR except CTLs or separators>

Section 2.2 says:

       CHAR           = <any US-ASCII character (octets 0 - 127)>

So MIME types are in fact restricted to ASCII.  Furthermore, they're restricted
to a subset of ASCII: "except CTLs or separators".
