If the Working Group defines some JSON-based format it certainly should
say which type to use. It is also likely that it will be told to define
a more specific type, say application/tracking-status+json, rather than
recommending use of application/json; if the Working Group doesn't want
to define such a type, I would recommend to include a rationale in the
corresponding specification.
