Nicol's draft on MIM file type
It has a couple factual errors regarding Apache's definition of
the ASIS file type. It would be advantageous for us to have MIM
defined exactly like ASIS.

Title : MIME Header Supplemented File Type
Author(s) : G. Nicol
Filename : draft-nicol-mime-header-type-00.txt

One of the problems encountered in serving documents over the WWW is the
correct generation of the MIME fields required by the HTTP protocol, and in
particular, generating the correct MIME type for body content. This memo
defines a file format that can be used to aid in the correct generation of
such fields, and how servers should interpret the file format. Use of this
file format can also benefit other protocols such as FTP.
