It's because we no longer use content-type to describe the programming  
language, which always seemed dubious to me anyway. The only language  
that actually had anything resembling a MIME type was javascript, and  
it had 2 "text/javascript" and "application/javascript". All the  
others were going to be "application/lang_x", and since we don't  
actually use this info anywhere a MIME type would be used, it's  
pointless to require everyone to specify "application/lang_x" instead  
of just plain "lang_x".
