If it's used in regular commerce on the Internet, I don't have a problem 
with ANSI INCITS 27.

But I think your suggestion is a bit tongue-in-cheeck. .iso files are 
*everywhere* on the Internet, and can contain payloads that seriously 
affect the security of Internet-connected systems. I believe there is a 
certain popular website out there just dedicated to "hunting" for them. 
And to-date it still doesn't have a media type.

A few e-mails back, it was stated that "No other work is in scope for 
this working group" [except what's in the charter]. So the natural 
evolution is to be sure that the charter includes everything that should 
be in-scope.
