> I'm not following anything you've said about "content types".

Which amply demonstrates your complete lack of understanding of the subject "pontificate" about.

edit: you can downvote me all you want, does not change that fact. Here's what Fieldings has to say on the subject:

> A REST API should spend almost all of its descriptive effort in defining the media type(s) used for representing resources and driving application state, or in defining extended relation names and/or hypertext-enabled mark-up for existing standard media types. Any effort spent describing what methods to use on what URIs of interest should be entirely defined within the scope of the processing rules for a media type (and, in most cases, already defined by existing media types).

(I used "content types" for his "media types", that's about it).
