I think it's OK the way it is. Look at RFC 3778 which defines application/pdf. Its published spec is the Adobe reference books, but the media registry entry refers to the RFC. Most RFCs that register media types also define the media so they point to themselves, but the few that don't point to the base specs. Other than that, I agree with your comments, and the next version will reflect them. I also checked the magic numbers, added a sentence to describe the checksum in the first two bytes of a zlib file.
