Re: [web-nfc] URL objects

My recommendation if you go the `text/url` route is to just squat it 
and implement it. Only at the very end of the process, if you have no 
other choice, then register it with IANA. The registration process is 
cryptic and poorly designed, it makes many other standard processes 
look fun. The registration form is buggy. The expert reviewers are, 
well... just to give an example the reviewer for my registration of 
`application/xhtml+xml` in 2014 objected because I was not referring 
to XHTML 2.0.

Once you've accumulated enough fait accompli that you can't be 
derailed by that sort of feedback, only then should you bother. And 
even then, if I had to do it again I would probably suggest starting a
 MIME type registry at the WHATWG instead.
