There is no need for experimental types. 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.
