iana.org links
It's been noted that iana.org URLs do not always correspond to the MIME type. Refer to the list at [1]. The "template" column is usually the MIME type, but sometimes it is something else (e.g. image/vnd-djvu, text/vnd-curl). In those cases, the URL with the actual MIME type might return the same document (e.g. [2] vs. [3]), or a subtly different document (e.g. [4] vs. [5]), or a placeholder document (e,g, [6] vs. [7]), or it might not work at all (e.g. [8] vs. [9]).
Should we do something about this? We could add a parameter to the template to allow the editor to manually supply the correct link when necessary. Or maybe we could find a better resource to link to. Jsummers (talk) 21:13, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
