I would like to consider allowing the mime-type to be set during processing, perhaps even as late as after endDocument().
No, that's against "Cocoon Way". I'd even say, *all* headers should be set *before* startDocument, during pipeline assembly & setup stages. What's happening in ResourceReader currently WRT headers should be fixed - IIRC there is either Bugzilla entry for this or an email in archive.

Vadim, that approach doesn't allow the content to tell the container what it is - is it reasonable to set ContentLength, Expires, etc. ahead of time in all cases? I think you're describing a system which is inflexible, and which precludes valid use cases. I'd prefer the "Cocoon Way" to be the default way things operate, but that edge cases are even *possible*, not precluded.
