I replied:
No.
I'm sorry, I sent without reading carefully. I'm not entirely sure
without looking at the code more carefully, but I suspect the answer
is "Yes, at least sometimes." For example, if the :data were simply a
string, then it would be displayable in all those cases, and the
specifier code would try to instantiate. I suppose the media type
guessing code is invoked separately for each domain, maybe different
code is involved.
