Agreed.
This is the meaning of the IANA considerations section:

https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-mediaman-toplevel-03.html#name-iana-considerations

"IANA is requested to create and populate a registry of top-level media 
types, This can be done by expanding the "Registries included below" 
section of 
https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml if that 
is compatible with IANAs infrastructure."

We wanted to leave IANA free to choose the means of presentation that 
works best for them.
