The messageContentType attribute includes more than the informationType. Reference in Section 2.5.2.4: "The messageContentType attribute, of within the exchange element, identifies the informationType or the channelType of the information that is exchanged between the two Roles in an Interaction." There are some open discussion items related to this that were also raised in the F2F. Nick Kavantzas can provide more details. Thank you.
