Off the top of my head, the language tag registry is pretty complete. Other than that, the MIME registry doesn't usefully and successfully match reality (e.g. image/svg+xml), the charset registry doesn't match reality (see additional aliases in HTML5) and the URL scheme and HTTP header registries are totally out of sync with the deployed practice. I agree that some registries are not complete. I disagree that it's necessarily the IANA's fault. The SVG issue is a nice example for that. Best regards, Julian
