VOTable enhancement (easy)

[Patrick Dowler]

it's been awhile but can someone take a look at and comment on this:

https://github.com/ivoa-std/VOTable/issues/26

which says:

In DataLink, we specify a parameter to add to the VOTable mime type to tell
clients that the table contains "datalinks":

application/x-votable+xml; content=datalink

Over in the DataLink discussions about adding params to other content-type
values (eg in the content_type column), we found out that this really goes
against the spirit of the mime type RFC 2045 and that params should be
defined by the spec that owns the type. So, this is a request for VOTable
to add an allowed mime type parameter content that other specs can define
values for. It would thus be open ended but clients would know to
anticipate the param in some cases.
