Not that I've seen.  But that doesn't stop you from drafting and submitting a 
proposal for one - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2077 might provide a model 
(sic) to follow.

AFAIK, there's no way to register that until the top-level type is approved, 
which I think requires standards action.  But you might submit an Internet-draft 
in parallel with a top-level type proposal.
