The official registration is here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/mimereg.html
The W3C has the right to register media types through Recs, without
needing an RFC, as explained in:
http://www.w3.org/2002/06/registering-mediatype.html
However it appears that this has fallen through the cracks (either
someone in W3C forgot to tell the IESG, or the IESG dropped the ball).
The process is to contact plh and DanC about the issue (as outlined in
that document). I'd recommend Doug do that since it really is up to
the WG, not the IG, to pursue the matter.
