[Cbor] Diagnostic Notation: Media Type?

[Christian Amsüss <[e-mail]>]

Hello CBOR experts,

as Python tools I'm maintaining are gaining support for Diagnostic
Notation[1], I found it hard to communicate to syntax highlighters that
data is in diagnostic notation due to the lack of a a registred Media
Type for Diagnostic Notation. (Also, pygments has no syntax highlighter
for it, but that's an issue of its own).

I suppose there was deliberation behind not registering anything for DN.
After all, this Should Really Not be sent across the network. But then
again, Media Types are useful for more purposes than that.

Is the use with syntax highlighters (and editor auto-completers and all
"that kind" of applications) reason enough to revisit this, and if not,
do we have a suggestion what kind of Media Type to use? For example,
given that all the mentioned uses are in a sense "local" environments,
would "text/x.cbor-diagnostic" make sense?
