That's a bit misleading in that the plugin doesn't really "have" a MIME type; it happens to support a set of MIME types though. Maybe: "The type attribute, if present, gives the MIME type for which the plugin should be instantiated." 31918 1 ian 2010-02-13 12:50:26 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

I didn't quite use the proposed text because it doesn't really make sense either. Hopefully the text I went with does make sense. 31919 2 contributor 2010-02-13 12:51:07 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r4706. Check-in comment: it's not the MIME type of the plugin, per se, just a MIME type the plugin claims to support. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=4705&to=4706
