i propose an extension to HTTP (call it HTTPeeLite) which allows me to

establish the available types of documentation (.doc, .pdf, .tex,
.rtf, etc).

  
Already part of HTTP

Accept: application/msword; q=1, application/pdf; 
q=0.5,application/x-troff-ms; q=0.3

q is the level of preference, you'll get word docs first
