Working Group Resolution (LC-1787):
Although the Working Group is sympathetic to the idea of using the new
MIME types video/ogg and audio/ogg+vorbis, the SMIL specification cannot
use not-yet-registered MIME types.  The best we can do is say that
currently the MIME type is application/ogg and that it is expected to
change.
