Interesting page, Sander.

I realize the page is a bit old and so you may not want to change it,
but since it *is* on the WWW (and you're pointing to it in 2008), maybe
you'd like to consider a few of my remarks, respectfully submitted:

1. It seems like a cool idea to me for you to point to a list of MIME
types. I guess this would be the place:
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/>. Or maybe there's a
better list somewhere. (Assuming "MIME types" is really the appropriate
term. I see e.g. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type>.)

2. I believe "dependant" should be spelled "dependent". See
http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_18...dependant.html .

3. The word "known" is missing an "n". Search for "kown".

I'm still poking around the site and, while I see it's a bit old, it
looks interesting. (BTW, I wish more Web authors would so
conscientiously date their publishings.)

HAND.

Possessive "its" has no apostrophe. Even on the Internet.
Pedants could rule the world and make it a better place, if the rest of
you would just *understand*.
