Ian, removing the particulars and referring to this document instead 
satisfies my concerns with the TAG finding. (However, I'll note I'm not yet 
confident that there is agreement from the IESG about the particulars of 
[4].) My only concern is with the comprehensibility of "no later than" 
sentences -- the always muddle me!

"The media type registration information SHOULD be available for review 
during W3C Last Call and MUST be available prior to W3C Candidate 
Recommendation."

(Skipping "CR" is a (theoretical?) exception/possibility and I don't see any 
need to qualify every bit of process with it.)
