Nicol's draft on MIM file type

["Roy T. Fielding" <fi...@avron.ICS.UCI.EDU>]

It has a couple factual errors regarding Apache's definition of
the ASIS file type.  It would be advantageous for us to have MIM
defined exactly like ASIS.

       Title     : MIME Header Supplemented File Type

One of the problems encountered in serving documents over the WWW is the 
correct generation of the MIME fields required by the HTTP protocol, and in
particular, generating the correct MIME type for body content. This memo 
defines a file format that can be used to aid in the correct generation of 
such fields, and how servers should interpret the file format. Use of this 
file format can also benefit other protocols such as FTP.
