>I've attached the PDF version of RFC 4288, which is titled "Media Type
>Specifications and Registration Procedures." I've checked the RFC Editor's
>web site, and it is still current. There are two errata, but both are
>editorial.
>
>The change procedures are discussed in section 9 on page 18. You should also
>have a look at section 3.1 on page 4.
>
>Here is the immediate problem as I see it. Neither OASIS or W3C are the
>"owners" of the CGM media type as defined in section 3.1. IEC and ISO would
>be the recognized owners since they published the CGM standard via their
>joint committee (JTC 1). A change request would have to be initiated by SC
>24 according to the IANA procedures. Once that is done they could pass
>responsibility for the media type to W3C (see the third paragraph in section
>9).
