Hi Ralph:
None of my business, but ...
Re the two meida types you support, two observations:
1. 'm21+xml' is devilish cryptic. Do you really need that brevity or
wouldn't 'marc21+xml' be more descriptive?
2. 'Unicode+xml' - I hope you can rethink the use of the capital here.
Seems pointless and bound to cause misery down the line - as well as being
perfectly horrid to look at. (I'm not sure if media types are actually
treated in case insensitive fashion - expect so, but whether they are or
aren't couldn't you really consider uniformly lowercasing.)
Like I said, none of my business, but ... :)
