Possibly, but I am looking at the MIME spec not the HTTP spec.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045

IETF RFC 2045 Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part One: Format of 
Internet Message Bodies
Section 5
>  content := "Content-Type" ":" type "/" subtype *(";" parameter)
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046
IETF RFC 2046 Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part Two: Media Types
Section 4.1.2


And the IANA

http://www.iana.org/numbers.html#M
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)

http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types-parameters
IANA Media Type Paramaters

http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-type-sub-parameters
MIME Media Type Sub-Parameter Registries: (e.g. video/raw)
