I agree. For one thing, another MIME type might eventually exist for 
filter specifications. It is not sufficient to describe a capture file 
as simply "pcap".

But what I think is missing is a version number. Given the talk in 
recent years about implementing the next version, I think the type 
should be application/pcap-capture-v1.
