Effectively, yes. The idea is that there is a factory that gets called whenever a mime content type or a header is instantiated, so that factory can do whatever magic it would like. The standard factories will have a lookup table for the factories for individual types, so you can alternately use a copy of the standard factory with just the headers or mime types you are interested in hooked. We'll want to refine the design when I get near to actually implementing it. -- R.
