To me, this just feels like misuse of the MIME type.  It should describe 
the content type of the message body, not the protocol/method used to 
access it.  Maybe a parameter could be used instead.

i.e.  application/json;param=value

Though, as I'm still not exactly sure what the new MIME type idea is 
supposed to express, I've got no idea what the parameter could be called.
