IMO it should not be an error, because "HTTP/1.1 servers are allowed to
return responses which are not acceptable according to the accept
headers sent in the request." (from
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10.4.7)
I think: If the Response method sets a media type, the one of
@ProduceMime must be ignored. An example for other media types could be,
if the method want to send details for an error (or redirection with
options) status.
