A REST-Discuss thread pointed me to a MIME type that i had totally forgotten about: text/uri-list. it's defined in RFC2483 Section 5. here's a snippet:

Several of the resolution service requests, such as I2Ls, I2Ns, result in a list of URIs being returned to the client. The text/uri- list Internet Media Type is defined to provide a simple format for the automatic processing of such lists of URIs.

here's a simple example:

# urn:isbn:0-201-08372-8
http://www.huh.org/books/foo.html
http://www.huh.org/books/foo.pdf
ftp://ftp.foo.org/books/foo.txt
    

presents some interesting possibilities...
