Seems to me that if all your subtypes are going to be the same
(chat/popup), and you're specifying popup to be the default (didn't say
anything whether single or group would be default), shouldn't it be:

	(chat|popup)/(single/group)

This also makes possible chat/* or popup/*, bypassing the MIME weirdness
issue.  I can see that different kinds of message types could be possible
that aren't necessarily to a person, and thus may not have the subtypes
single or group.

just my $.02
