Because there's nothing explicitly "internet" about media files, 
presumably. A mime type is actually an "Internet Media Type" 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type>, but these other 
things are not.

I'd be in favour of putting @mimeType in att.media, though, and getting 
rid of its class.
