But PDFs and excel spreadsheets are precisely why you want variants!

"Here's my usage stats for 2009...

You mean to tell me that I can't send that out as an e-mail?  Instead I have to say

"Please run this command to see my usage stats for 2009

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.acme.com+pdf;version=1.0"  http://usage.api.acme.com/jorgew/2009/usage"

That seems silly to me, we're missing an important feature, the ability to click.
