Accept-type headers

Accept-type headers - In addition to appending .json, I should also be able to send accept-type "application/json". Makes working with Backbone and other client-side libraries a lot easier.

Personally I absolutely agree. I think the content-type/ accepts should be the primary, however, that creates a conflict with the .json extension (in that case, which do you choose to enforce).

For that reason I would be all for the removal of the .ext and instead rely on the accepts and content-type headers as the source of truth as intended by the HTTP specification.
