When I click on the link 

   <a href="foo.udda" type="application/x-udda">foo</a>

Firefox 3.6.8 displays the file's contents as text rather than asking me how to process the file.

How do I associate an application with the mime-type?

I'm running Firefox 3.6.8 Linux i686 (x86_64) with the NoScript 1.10 extension.

The server needs to send the correct MIME type, you can't specify it that way.

See http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Properly_Configuring_Server_MIME_Types

I'm confused and hope you'll humor me. Why can't the mime-type of a link target be specified using the "type" attribute of the link element? Am I misinterpreting the description of that attribute http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#h-12.2? If not, then do all browsers ignore this attribute?
