The RFCs don't define the term "media type", and it is used in contradictory ways, including: + A top level type, eg: "text" + A two-part type, eg: "text/plain" + A full type with parameters, eg: "text/plain; format=flowed" Does Atom allow parameters in its @type attribute? How should RDF vocabularies refer to mime types that include parameters? It is all a bit vague, I find it easiest just to model the mime type as a Literal property. -- Dave
