I don't see this as being any different from, say in HTML 4.01, recognised link types http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-links recognised media types http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-media-descriptors IANA registry charsets http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-charset etc. Or am I missing something fundamental in your argument?
