there's no need to say that explicitly, that's a given.

the point is this - just because the recipient's implementation "knows what
to do with" a content-type does not mean that its' "doing that" is an 
acceptable risk for the recipient.  far too many vendors abuse their customers
by exposing them to risks for which the customers are generally unaware,  
unable to evaluate, and wouldn't accept if they knew what they were.
