I don't think there are. As one example, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" is an unregistered type, yet normatively referenced from HTML 4; http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1 If you had said that there aren't currently cases where the community wouldn't benefit from the registration of unregistered types in wide use, I'd agree completely. Hmm, I wonder what the new registration procedures say about experimental names... Mark.
