Re: [Acme] Registering a PEM Content-Type

I've got a PR adding application/pem-certificate-chain:
https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/acme/pull/276.

Note that I chose "pem-certificate-chain" rather than "pem-cert-list",
because it has different semantics. A certificate chain MUST start with
an end-entity certificate, while a certificate list (which has no MIME
type defined at present) can have any type of certificates in any order.
For instance, it's common to have a list of trust anchors in PEM format
concatenated in a single file. That would be considered a "certificate
list" but not a "certificate chain."

What do you all think?

Thanks,
Jacob
