I am the guilty IETF-aware person...

I am thinking that if we are doing all other related work we might as well tackle this, so I am in support of doing this in the WG. Now ideally I would like this to be addressed as an extension to the media type registration template that list extra optional fields. So I don't want to reopen RFC6838, but a separate draft that updates it would be great.

My own impression is that this isn't quite within scope of what we're talking about for this effort, but then again it makes sense to include this now rather than spin up a subsequent effort or wait for the next train.  Naturally I'm happy to include this in the proposed charter if there's consensus to include it.

Hopefully it is not too late :-).
