That would be incorrect.  It's still called the MIME type; that's what
people know it by, and everyone knows what it means.  Ignore misguided
attempts by standards bodies to impose changes on a well-established,
widely understood term, and just call it what it's called.

(If you think it's quibbling, that means you think it's a waste of time to
worry about either way.  You're asking for a bunch of changes to be made to
specs to change terminology, so you do seem to care; so please don't say
that other people are quibbling.)
