I see three candidates:
format - this is used for almost same purpose for graphics, but cann't
be used now, because format isn't CDATA it is predefined as a list of
image format identifiers
type - it is used in several markup languages to hold MIME type of data.
However MIME approach is not currently used in DocBook, so this change
would be quite inconsistent with a rest of DocBook.
language - it is used in classsynopsis for same purpose.
Now, after summarizing it, I think that last variant (language) is most
appropriate.
