If you have a proprietary type, register a type in the vendor tree; there is a web form for that. If you want a type in the standards tree, then you need a standard. If you make a new standard format, and register a media type for it only after you have already started using the new format in a MIME environment, then you are doing something very stupid, and no web form can save you. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
