As I understand the MIME types specification, this usage doesn't really fit. Isn't there some other approach to adding the verbs? For example, if I understand the PEP document, we should add a Protocol and use header info. to get the behavior. It provides for querying for support, and leaves content type alone. You would still want to have a way to directly address a version using a URL.
