The new version addresses my earlier concerns.
One small new issue:

The newly added:
5. Registering New Report Types   
               
    Registration of new media types for the purpose of creating a new   
    report format SHOULD note in the Intended Usage section of the media   
    type registration that the type being registered is suitable for use   
    as a report-type in the context of this specification.

What does "suitable for use as a report-type" means exactly? Do you mean 
the name of the new media type can be used as the value of this attribute?
