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.
