    except possibly ECMAScript content that is executed in a Web
    browser sandbox.

application/vnd.ms-ims is intended to be used in a manner similar to application/vnd.ms-lrm 
(also registered by me for use by Microsoft Class Server, an educational application). 
application/vnd.ms-ims is for a more recent version of content than application/vnd.ms-lrm.
