To me, this just feels like misuse of the MIME type. It should describe the content type of the message body, not the protocol/method used to access it. Maybe a parameter could be used instead. i.e. application/json;param=value Though, as I'm still not exactly sure what the new MIME type idea is supposed to express, I've got no idea what the parameter could be called. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
