The media type registration has been sent to ietf-types twice, now. Several other W3C media types have been registered in the last year, using the new process. For application/ecmascript, that value is in fact registered, although still pointing to an internet draft, which the IETF tracker indicates is in the RFC queue. For XSL, I can look to see what the are doing in terms of registring their own type. For audio formats, there has been increased activity in the last year to register them. For registering a whole font top level type, that's a lot of work. There was an earlier attempt but it seems to have stalled. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
