Though, there's a preference order about what part is linked to what 
mimetype...
If what lead to the invocation of the current part is a given mimetype, it's 
fine to keep it if we are given the *same* mimetype for the following 
document.
But, IMO, if the mimetype differ, the correct behaviour should be to check 
what's the preferred viewer for this new mimetype ...
Just a thought.

well there's a well known "view document source" function just for that... I'd 
bet it would make perfect sense for 999 ‰ of us...
