It's a good proposal for embedding MIME information in documents. But
one of the great values of MIME is its use with unknown quantities and
content negotiation; depending on user settings and user agent
capabilities, the pretty picture might be a PNG, a JPEG, a GIF, a BMP,
or EPS.
So if your resources are guaranteed to be in a single format, this is
a good idea. But I'd rather leave content typing where it belongs,
with the resource itself, not with the reference thereto.
