You need to parse it anyway in order to parse the Atom document as such. With tree-based processing that will have happened before you even get to the data, too. But even with stream processing you only need to wait for the start_element event following that of the atom:content element. That doesn’t mean I disagree that it would be helpful. One case where not having a media type is definitely an issue is with external payloads referenced using atom:content/@src, f.ex. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
