QR Codes do not use IANA mime-types.
If anyone wanted to use UR encoding for PSBT data in a web context (http),
NFC, or email, it would probably be best to discourage them.
While I can understand the need for UR encoding in animated QR
codes, I don't think any other use-case could justify introducing
a new word list (ByteWords), a unique checksum algo (Xoshiro256),
fountain codes (Luby Transform) and CBOR... just to wrap a few k
of binary.
I do love CBOR though. It's the best.
