Auxiliary proposal for passing MIME data through web intents

So far we've spent most of our time focused on the API spec. But
another important component is detailing how actors using the API
should interpret action and type strings. Here's an example of the
kind of thinking we need to codify for that. It's a work in progress,
but please tell me what you think of the contents, as well as how to
format these auxiliary documents.


Passing MIME type data through Web Intents [1]


We talked about passing schema.org types as well. Here's a document
spelling out how that would work (following the discussions we had at
the Shenzhen F2F).

Passing schema.org data through Web Intents [2]


In general, these documents follow a form I'd like to see us follow
for "type" string documentation -- detailing what you need to put
where when invoking an intent with a given type, and what services can
expect when they see those types.

I'm not sure what format we want these in -- move them alongside the
API spec? Put them on webintents.org? Put them on the w3 web intents
wiki?

timeless suggested [1] having these documents be productions of the
task force. If that's a plan with broad agreement, should they go into
mercurial? Respec formatted? Fill me in on the procedure, please, as
well as the content of the documents.
