[openbeos] Mime Types and Paramaters

Reading the HTTP RFC today I learnt that MIME types can have some number  of 
colon seperated key value pairs attached.

e.g. text/plain;charset=us-ascii   or   text/plain;charset=utf8;lang=en_AU

The first means plain text encoded as US-ASCII and the second is plain text in 
UTF8 and australian english.

Does Haiku / Zeta support this? BMime?

It doesn't have to understand although it would be good if it did.

This is the ABNF
       media-type     = type "/" subtype *( ";" parameter )
       type           = token
       subtype        = token
See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046
