This would reassert the false notion that there's such a thing as a "file
extension" on the web.
Well - nothing is fool-proof and something that ends with .pdf is most of the time is a pdf-document. One could perhaps use mime-types or such - but then one would need to ask the servers for it. So - as I previously suggested - either a new microformat defining the type or just guessing because guessing might be better than nothing.

Could such a microformat be designed like <a href="foobar.com/foo/bar/" rev="application/pdf"> perhaps? With pointing to a hidden hCard like <a href="samesite#anchor" rev="microformat/hcard"> with or without an anchor defining the position of the microformat?

Just pure brainstorming here - I have no idea myself even if this would be good or not. There would perhaps be some use for it?
