Content Type
AKA:
- HTTP Content-Type - this is the preferred terminology, especially as it emphasizes the content aspect.
- MIME type. This terminology is deprecated.
- media type. Recommend AGAINST using the term "media type" to refer to content-type as it is overloaded, and often (even more often among web design circles) used to refer to CSS media types.
In microformats, as elsewhere, content-type SHOULD be used when linking to audio files, PDF files, and other attachments.
