Hi Maarten,

That's a good point. We see this with other media type parameters too,
such as when clients tack on the charset parameter but servers do not
yet everything just works.
And we have received some implementation feedback suggesting that
changing the content-type header is not easy in some server
frameworks. Consequently, we have an issue in the tracker about this
[1], and I have noted your suggestion to drop the requirement
completely.
