I would leave charset in.  A lot of MIME software will look at that for
any text/* type and will expect 7-bit ASCII if it's not present.

I think it's a good idea.  You may get some pushback on encoding that in
the subtype instead of in a parameter, but I think a parameter is the
right approach.

No, your security considerations seem reasonable to me.
