Hi,

Larry Masinter has suggested creation of a test suite in order to help 
figure out what exactly different browsers do when guessing MIME types. 
Tobias and I discussed this yesterday and we concur that this is a good 
idea. If there is anybody interested in working/helping out on this, can 
you please contact Tobias Gondrom <tobias.gondrom@gondrom.org> and 
myself directly?

Thank you,
Alexey, on behalf of WebSec WG chairs
