[NetBehaviour] IETF RFC 1437 Extension of MIME Content-Types: Sentient Life-Form Transport

[Andy Deck]

Be sure to add the new  matter-transport/sentient mime type to my
Plug/Inventory when it gets sorted out!  It's dedicated to remembering all
the various formats, plugins, and browser experiences that are being
forgotten. However, near-future mime types are also welcome.

Plug/Inventory was originally released in 2003. Although it could use an
upgrade, it isn't too dysfunctional for a laptop or desktop browser.
