When it works, it's great. However, fifteen years or so into the Web, we 
can't even give document authors the ability to set the MIME type for 
their own documents. Expecting them to be allowed to do content 
negotiation and browser sniffing and so forth, is more than I'm willing 
to posit.

Must-ignore is far simpler to implement, and works today. I don't want 
to see it broken.
