Hi Sander,

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

One side note: we are talking about detecting the mimetype as indicated
in the CMDI ResourceProxy attribute, see:

https://www.clarin.eu/faq/how-can-i-specify-additional-details-about-resourceproxy

So for the scenario VLO -> LR switchboard -> processing application

the system configuration would not be relevant, since the mimetype is
explicitly mentioned in the metadata. The key is to find agreement about
a simple and light-weight way of designating the variants of TEI.

best,
