The previous attempt foundered because the approach taken required deprecation of text/xml, and the implementor community was not happy with that as there is much legacy content using that type that still has to be supported.

+1 on doing this over here.

I believe it would be good to start from RFC 3023, to raise issues, and 
then to resolve them one by one (re-playing the changes that the ID 
contains).
