** @type **
The passages in 3.1.1 and 4.15.1 and 4.6.3 around @type are not consistent.
In 3.1.1 media types are not an option:
[[[
Note that MIME media types [RFC2045] are not acceptable values for the "type" attribute.
]]]
in 4.15.1 and 4.6.3 they are stated as an option.
On re-reading, I'm pretty sure that 3.1.1 could be struck without any loss of meaning to the spec, giving the processing model outlined in 4.15.3. And 4.15.3 could perhaps be moved up to where 3.1.1 is if we wanted to retain the notion of a construct for type.
This has been pointed out before. However, all three are different @type attributes. Their semantics are related to the element they are applied on.
