Great! I suppose the attribute fully conforms to the "Content-Type" 
specification as per RFC 2045 and 2046, including the handling of 
"encoding" attribute of text types (i.e. if not present then it is assumed 
to be "us-ascii" (=7-bit ASCII)).

Does the various (visual) diff, merge et al. utilities take the encoding 
into consideration when translating the bytes to characters?

Typo: "encoding"=>"charset" (MIME thinks character encoding is called 
"charset" although it is more than just a character repertoire).
