Whether or not something *can* be executed is irrelevant for text/* vs. application/*. Relevant is whether something *must* be executed for the document to be usable. > From: > https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6838#section-4.2.5 > >> 4.2.5.

If so, please tell me /"could not read"/. That said: If you tell me /"could not read"/ I know that you *could* read this section, so you would be wrong. * Conclusion Org mode documents belong into text/* >> Expected uses for the "application" type name include but are not >> limited to file transfer, spreadsheets, presentations, scheduling >> data, and languages for "active" (computational) material. > > ✔️ YES, we have spreadsheets in Org which results may be viewable only > after computed. application/* and text/* are not distinguished by their domain, but by whether they are readable as plain text.
