I went ahead and updated the draft since the old mental model was wrong. The
new draft:

* Attempts to establish a new mental model that addresses
  the issue that MSK raised. I'm not happy with the
  prose, it feels Rube Goldbergian, but wanted to get
  some approximation of the new mental model out there for
  review and refinement.

* Attempts to align with the way image/svg+xml+gzip
  is expected to work.

* Recognizes the existence of, and leverages, the
  Structured Syntax Suffixes Registry[1], which I had no
  idea existed.

* Adds a Security Considerations section with Harald's
  concern (albeit, at the wrong level in the table of
  contents, I'll fix that in the next revision).

Feedback and thoughts on the new sections are welcome:
