I thought that was what the mediatypereg issue was all about.
 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/53

Its state is closed, which suggests there should be a technical
decision that makes it clear which arguments were discussed and
which weren't, but I can't find it from tracker.

It sure would be nice if the text of the decision were in
the description or at least clearly cited from there.

The change log says
  2009-11-19 17:12:22: Status changed to 'closed' [Maciej Stachowiak]

But I don't see any mail around that time.

So it's not clear, to me, whether the WG has discussed this or not.
