ISSUE-24

contentTypeOverride-24

Can a specification include rules for overriding HTTPcontent type parameters?

Description:
For me this questions depends on whether the document type is a human-readable hypertext document, when generic hypertext xml tools would benefit from knowing what is a link, and whether significance of the URI in question is a hypertext link or something different.

Maybe a compromise is to only allow the link to specify the content-type when the server is FTP (or something else with no content-type control) or the HTTP server returns text/plain or octet-steam, which seem to be used for "don't know" types.
