And where does the MIME type originate? With many web servers, its based on file extensions or magic numbers...

  Sure, static web servers serving files from a standard filesystem. Does it apply to dynamically generated content? No. Does it apply to key-value stores like S3 and GCS? No.

    Seems simpler just to use extensions or magic #s. Most normal users don't understand metadata.
