Re: ACTION-76 : Question if MPEG-21 Part 17 got registered on IANA as a media mime type for fragments

Honestly, I'm not in the position to tell if this is a problem, however,
when I did my review [1] I implicitly was working under this assumption,
yes.

Anyway, I think we are on the safe side, as the original question was about
frag IDs in audio/*, image/*, and video/*' and we learned that MPEG21 has
not registered anything there (but only in their own application/mp21).

Cheers,
      Michael
