Description
Naming every possible type is already done with mime types.
I think it would make sense to use them as codes, instead of defining your own.
"image/jpg" or "text/plain" make nice paths btw ;)
What are your thoughts on it, did I miss something?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposal in issue #4 and the existing multicodec tables and naming rules. Determine whether MIME types can replace the current codes without losing compactness or compatibility; done requires a documented decision and an agreed implementation scope.
