And anyway, the document you quote is irrelevant. Granted that SVN's
current translation between media type and binaryness is simplistic, I
don't think it's fundamentally wrong (even though a better name for the
property would be svn:content-type, but that's a minor nit).

Or are you suggesting we add an equivalent to
"Content-Transfer-Encoding?" IMHO that's useful for mail, but not for
Subversion.
