   types.  It also introduces a registry for top-level media types, and
   contains a short history of top-level media types.  It updates RFC
   6838.

Working Group Summary
   
   The document represents a consensus (broad agreement) of the WG. The number of
   participants in the WG is not large, but it does include the current media type
   reviewers.

   Nothing was contentious; no appeals were threatened.

   were developed in the presence of the media type reviewers.
   Can't ask for a better venue than that.
