I think I prefer the latter. It's a lot simpler for everyone if
the MIME audio/wav type and the thing that "people think of as WAV files"
coincide. That doesn't mean that the VPIM folks shouldn't define a
profile of audio/wav for their own use; just that it's more important
for audio/wav to correspond to "what people think of as WAV files"
than it is for it to correspond to "that which is accepted by VPIM".
