I hope the change rules and registration trees described in
draft-ietf-822ext-mime-reg-04.txt will make it simpler to
register new types, so that people will register.

Also, the new docs give rules for CHANGING a registry entry, so that
there isn't the "gotcha" effect that I feel registration has today;
if you realized the registration was wrong, you can now change it.

Please read the rules!
