Not really - I know the spec allows any possible mimetype, but at the same time
it's likely a CM will support just a limited subset (for example, one might
just support png). Of course the property would be CM-specific, and might be
useful to find out which mimetypes would it support.

Though, I see a potential improvement in the type of the captcha - in that
case, it would be nice to have an enum with the supported types instead of a
string (which would be better from a client POV), and would be nice to
advertise which type(s) of captcha the CM is going to send to the client. Or am
I missing something here?

As we already discussed the rationale on IRC, we need to wait for Simon or
Thiago to give out an opinion.
