I agree with everything. As to mime type: keep it simple and use text/html. 
The other stuff is too complicated for use and useless anyway.

And who's actually going to take the first stab at coding it? I'd love to

Or maybe several people could download the psd and try individually, then 
the group decides which batch of code is going to be developed further.
