At the very least, the W3C/IETF liasons should discuss this. It is exceedingly bad manners to squat a on parts of a shared namespace, such as MIME types or HTML tag names, in the first place. The W3C should not reward that behavior by standardizing unregistered types. I have to wonder why the type was suggested if no one has any usage data. If people are using it, this particular type is water under the bridge, so I personally feel that the IETF should register and document it. The registration procedures are a lot easier now. -- Robert Sayre "I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time."
