Personal response: while I can see the logic, this seems to me to be stretching
the concept of MIME type well beyond what it is capable of coping with. If we
are to have MIME types for XSD-defined primitive types, then why not for
user-defined types? And if we handle simple types, doesn't it make sense to
handle complex types too? But this surely demands that types are identified by
URIs rather than overloading the MIME registry. Apart from anything else, the
processes used to register MIME types don't seem to be geared up to handle the
kind of volume this would generate.
It seems eminently logical that there should be some kind of relationship
between types as schema components and MIME types, but this proposal seems to
nibble at the edges of what needs to be done to make that happen.
