Yes indeed it does:

A.6.7.3.4 Notation processor storage managers

The starter set notation storage manager is: 

mimetype

     The SOI is the MIME type and subtype optionally followed by
parameters, specified as they would be in the field
     body of a Content-Type header field in the header of an Internet mail
message.

        <!-- MIME Type Notation Processor Storage Managers -->
            <!-- PART OF A NON-MANDATORY STARTER SET. -->
<!notation
   mimetype       -- MIME content type --
