Standards are one thing; logic is another. You can't fix the thousands of
misconfigured servers out there, but you certainly can tell a browser,
"Okay, these twelve extensions, well, there's no reason to display them as
text. The server's telling you it's text, but trust me, .sit is not text."




Thank you. My sentiments exactly. There's never a case where displaying binary garbage is the right thing to do. The browser needs to be intelligent enough to deal with misconfigured servers.
