Shouldn't it be text/plain? I would've though that a specific mime-type defeats the format's original purpose.

- troels 11y agoWell, text/html is also pretty non-specific.
- jalfresi 11y agoExactly! I thought the point was that it was plain text that can be transposed to html. This mime-type designates it as a mark-UP, defeating the whole point!
- scrollaway 11y agoMime type parenting is a thing. There's plenty of IANA-registered mime types which have text/plain, application/zip etc as parents.
