I do not understand everything that you are saying.

I do not think that many people will use #! notation in
their scripts.

But I am thinking of adding a version number script
command.

I agree. Switching the interpreter between commands
would be a problem.

I don't think that MIME typing will work.

In order for MIME types to work the web server has to
be configured
correctly. Most people cannot do this. It will never be
right and
configurations will always be wrong.
