If I am going to server out GeoJSON RESTfully it would be nice for my clients to be able to tell there are getting GeoJSON back, not just application/json that may or may not be GeoJSON.

afaict, there's no media type for GeoJSON. there was some discussion 
around defining a profile (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6906) and then 
using that, but that would actually depend on application/json 
supporting a "profile" media type parameter, which it currently doesn't. 
this might or might not change with the JSONbis draft 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-json-rfc4627bis, but currently 
there's no support for a profile media type parameter in it.

cheers,
