Description Julian Reschke 2014-06-21 12:28:14 UTC 
"[MIMESNIFF]
    Media Type Sniffing (URL: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-websec-mime-sniff-03), A. Barth, I. Hickson. IETF."

However, that version of the draft is expired and abandoned.

We realise that, but for the time being this is deemed the lesser of a bunch of evils. I am flagging this as LATER because I wish to return to it, but at this time this is not changing.

I have used the proposal I made to Julian on the list (which he seemed to find useful); it will ship as part of the upcoming PR draft.
