Comment (by zooko):

 In [https://plus.google.com/u/0/108313527900507320366/posts/b4KxkLCvrJD
 this conversation on Google+] it occurred to me that if we had that
 metadata in the directory, then the URLs to children that are served up by
 a directory, e.g. [https://lafsgateway.zooko.com/uri/URI%3ADIR2-MDMF-
 RO%3Ahd5kspvx5bymvat6omak5nfni4%3Awtieioxcnw5tukgjyqxp3ql3fu6ndkcdalvhisaqbiod3ldjytna
 this directory], which URLs currently contain a suggested filename, could
 also contain a suggested content-type, e.g.
 https://lafsgateway.zooko.com/file/URI%3ACHK%3Ags6rtdc74o4jxuv2frmni45tyu%3Apaqq4o4tquin7cqnigoogvuzsidikiss5yidsxskfurwcsl6g6ua%3A1%3A1%3A8294637/@@named=/Weinbergerinternet.mp3.wav.opus
