Carves up a mime-type and returns an Array of the
  [type, subtype, params] where "params" is a Hash of all
  the parameters for the media range.

 For example, the media range "application/xhtml;q=0.5" would
  get parsed into:

 ["application", "xhtml", { "q" => "0.5" }]
Carves up a mime - type and returns an Array of the [ type subtype params ] where params is a Hash of all the parameters for the media range .
