Jens, I am sincerely impressed that you came up with a decent case for
using a new scheme rather than a content type, but regardless of the
details making up a new approach breaks an enormous amount of existing
software, leaving the users in the cold yet again and all of us
vendors with no way to help them. What would you and your teammates
think of having Apple join other vendors of client software on the
