RE: Content-type vs. media-type?

Hi,
 
I agree this can be quite confusing. I think that the XProc spec sticks
with 'content-type' where possible. As for p:escape-markup (and a couple
of other steps such as p:http-request, p:exec, ...), it applies XML
serialization to the input document, and 'media-type' is the name of one
of the serialization properties in the XML Serialization spec. Renaming
'media-type' (the serialization parameter) to 'content-type' would cause
additional confusion, IMHO.

	I was just wondering if there was a difference between the
"content-type" name versus the name "media-type"; I see both used
throughout the spec, and have a hard time keeping track of which step
calls for which version of the name.  
	E.g. p:unescape-markup has the "content-type" option, while
p:escape-markup has the "media-type" option.
	Is the difference just "media-type" is used to set a
characteristic of outgoing content, while "content-type" is a
characteristic of incoming content?
