It's because we no longer use content-type to describe the
programming language, which always seemed dubious to me anyway. The
only language that actually had anything resembling a MIME type was
javascript, and it had 2 "text/javascript" and "application/
javascript". All the others were going to be "application/lang_x",
and since we don't actually use this info anywhere a MIME type would
be used, it's pointless to require everyone to specify "application/
lang_x" instead of just plain "lang_x".
Also since a lot of the possible languages for a view server to use
don't have IANA assigned media types we'd just be making stuff up.

Why?

I think this is useful as a proper media type. There may be
occasions when
similar media types could be used for a view server in which case
we would want
the full version.
