Doing a mixture of sniffing and labeling has not served us very well. We cannot rely solely on sniffing because of CSS and SVG. We can rely solely on a standardized mapping table of extension to Content-Type. (Sniffing can still happen if the endpoint does sniffing of course, unless we decide to add the no-sniff header here I suppose...) -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
