Thanks.

You can register application/prs.kendallclark.notation3 or something
like that. If the RDF DAWG wants to use Notation3 in a W3C Technical
Report and requires a media type for Notation3 for that, it's the WG's
responsibility to do what's necessary so this can be done in accordance
with RFC 4288 and the TAG's finding on internet media types, both of
which seem quite clear that use of unregistered and experimental media
types is discouraged. Use of unregistered media types in other W3C TRs
has caused considerable problems, I don't see good technical reasons to
accept such usage. I'm fine if we agree to disagree, the issue will then
be reported along with the Working Group's request to advance the
document to Candidate Recommendation status in which case The Director
will look at it.

Well, I'm not happy but I don't feel strong enough about it to register
a formal objection.
