They probably are.

I'm afraid it is a little late for that. The media types registration
were just updated. Had this been proposed during the updating process (which
took over a years), I can pretty much guarantee it would have been included,
but the document is now final and it's too late.

By way of reference, the last update happened in 2005.

My suggestion would be to put these in the additional information section.
