Supporting media types (or whatever you're working on to replace them) is
one of the use cases that is in the Use Cases and Requirements document
[1]. I personally also have a particular interest when it comes to
supporting print, it is something that not enough sites (including,
currently, my own) do properly but a surprisingly high number of people do
print off articles, especially technical documents.

So supporting print and other types of media would definitely be an
advantage.
