Unfortunately this seems very focused on reporting SPAM and other email
related abuses. What I was looking for was a way to format a generic abuse
report where the most important parts would be "type of abuse", "IP doing
the abuse", "time the abuse occured" and "<free text field about what
happened>" that could be used by end users. Creating a new MIME type
precludes most end users from ever using it because their MUA won't
support it.
