How about :coding-system and :transfer-encoding instead?

We have mime-charset to match that, but in that case you will need to
convert the value to a coding-system internally, as the conversion is
not a trivial one.
I think this eventually boils down to the question whether most users
of this feature feel more at home with network-style "charset" or with
Emacs-style "coding-system". I don't know the answer.
