It may be out of hand (although I don't think it is), but it's much
easier for authors and implementors to understand, and much more likely
to be interoperably implemented, than what you're proposing.
I tend to agree. If you just give some media type it's very unclear
what the particular side effects of such a media type would be. Also,
it's unclear what text/html would mean for things like syntax
highlighting that are mentioned here given that you mostly edit a
snippet of it and not a whole document.
For spell checking you might want to provide an external dictionary
file, because you think the UA might not support the language you
accept input in or you're using some really special terms not commonly
used.
