Hi Andrew,
Sorry I didn't see your messages until now.
I believe the convention for unregistered MIME types is to prefix the
subtype part with "x-", giving something like text/x-kvf.
However, since the spec mandates UTF-8 for this message format, it may
be more appropriate to use an "application/" type; text types generally
support a "charset" attribute allowing the content to be in an arbitrary
character encoding, which is not appropriate here.
