sMediaType

String specifying a valid MIME type string.

The property is read/write with no default value.

The type attribute, if present, gives the MIME type of the linked resource.

It is purely advisory. User agents must not consider the attribute authoritative.

The value must be a valid MIME type string ( "image/jpeg", "text/html" etc. )

Upon fetching the resource, user agents must not use metadata included in the link to the resource to determine its type.
