There aren't really any troubles, though, since the problem has always
been with getting people to use MIME types other than text/html,
and here
we're saying "use text/html".
they are troubles when servers use another mime type than "text/
html", people do not choose their mime type and they do not know what
it is.
User X is writing a file like the ol' time home page. Give a name to
the file "boo.doc", "boo.txt", "boo.cool". User X uploads the file on
the Web server.
There are troubles.
The only way to fix that will be to have URI management on the
server, but still that would mean that the author of pages would be
authentified in a Web way and the user would understand the meaning
of it.
The question comes because it would be interesting to have a
mechanism to help to fix the mimetype when necessary.
