Speaking of which... :)

I notice that in the web server manual, in section 10.1.3, "Response", 
for the response type (listof (union string bytes)), the text doesn't 
make it clear that the first string (the MIME type) apparently has to be 
a byte string.  If an ordinary string is supplied, an error about a 
malformed Xexpr is produced.  This would probably be confusing for 
anyone not already well-versed in the mysteries of 20x -> 300 conversion.

There's a similar issue with the MIME parameter for the make-response/* 
procedures.

Let me know if I should file a bug report (it seemed a little small for 
that).

Anton
