This is what I requested from the AVT group but they indicated I go to the 
PWE3 group for it. However, if, between the two groups, we think that a 
MIME for nx64 over RTP will not be widely useful, then we can drop it. 
Registration of vendor-specific MIMEs is also possible, but is this the way 
we want to go? Either way, I would like us in AVT and PWE3 to make a 
conscious choice.
