Thing: Introduce mime type or renderers of information?

[ybakos]

Since a thing's information is dynamic, we don't know what it is, as data. For example, it could be a String or an Image or a Video.

Had an idea about enriching a Thing with renderers; how real-world information things have an implicit "renderer" in the physical world... are they coupled or not? Should they be? Do we "attach" a list of renderers to things? What if we did?

Or is this just begging for one more piece of metadata - a simple mime type?
