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?
