I agree with mleku (nprofile…5ckl), implementing numeric kinds was a design misstep in the Nostr protocol. Numeric identifiers are inherently more difficult to memorize, standardize, and use correctly, also they create confusion.

A better approach would have been to implement standardized mime types or namespaced types instead of numeric kinds, which would have created a more intuitive and self-organizing system.

while I absolutely think you should use the `m` tag with your use case, I also think that we're early enough in nostr that we can still add mime-types as a replacement for kinds.
