I implemented it. It is absolutely necessary that the user
know we can't possibly protect their anonymity if they use a
browser that doesn't respect HTTP mime types. The other point
- well... maybe we should do a release. It will have several
really major outstanding issues: the datastore corruption bug
being the main one, and I'm very suspicious of the anonymity
filter, which needs to be rewritten as an allow-good-content
rather than kill-bad-content filter (this is all about
blocking HTML that might make your browser run scripts or
contact the external internet, both of which would ruin your
anonymity). So... we can't do a 0.5, but 0.4.5 might make sense.
