The RFC could then say:
Specific formats not listed above [table of "official" item types]
should be served under generic selectors, either '9', the selector
for binary items, or one of the more specific general-purpose binary
selectors 'I' (image), ';' (video) or 'd' (document).
Formats that already have a specific selector listed above should not
be served under any of the generic selectors.
What about text-based formats (eg. XML)? Should they be served with 9 (because they're not listed) or 0 (because they're text-based)?
And Cameron's interesting mime/type field could then be used (at least?)
for 9, I, ; and d, even if not included in the standard.
