N-Triples MIME type should not be text/plain -- comment on RDF Test Cases.

Comment on "RDF Test Cases".
W3C Recommendation 10 February 2004
 In http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/#ntriples it says,
The Internet media type / MIME type of N-Triples is text/plain and 
the character encoding is 7-bit US-ASCII.
This is a bug, I think. It prevents crawlers from absorbing the 
file and indexing it proerly, it will prevent the file from being 
dispatched inside a data browser to a data-handling view, and so on.
I would suggest text/rdf+n3 if the assumption is correct that 
NTriples is a subset of N3.
Otherwise I suppose text/rdf+nt or something would be logical. 
Anotehr possibility would be
text/rdf=n3; level=nt
introducing a level parameter to explain what level of N3 was being 
used.
