Specifically because you don't want conflicting mime types.  You would have to
constrain mimeType against contentTyps which my proposal does anyway.

OK... so this was a bad example but I assume you would have extrapolated.

what if I said that it was text/xml text/html image/gif image/jpg image/png,
etc, etc, etc.

Documents will basically have one main mimeType and one main contentType which
is what my proposal tries to address.
