Its been a month since I sent out this proposal, and the only comment I
have heard so far is that the name "Content types" may be slightly
ambiguous. My proposal for addressing this is to change the section 
title to "Content types for volumes", and stick with x-content for the
type, since it is already in use. 

If there is no further feedback, I'd like to move ahead with adding this
to the spec, since we want to implement content type sniffing in gvfs
soon.
