I think I understand what Paul is getting at and I agree with all his 
suggestions. I also take his point that people will blame the tool that 
correctly fails where others don't if the spec is not clear.

That's also interesting about the MIME type--and I agree we should let 
that sleeping dog snore until we can do the right thing, which will be 
2.0 at the earliest.
