But for the first alternative, accessing CHK@xyz directly will not
give you a proper MIME type, while CHK@pqr in the second one will.
As referencing a CHK directly is sometimes preferable, the second

Do we really need to work around these insertion mistakes? In a way
it's /not/ the same data if it has a different MIME type.
