draft-ietf-appsawg-media-type-regs was just published as RFC 6838; see 
it for how to register +qml.

See RFC 6839 (also just published) for example registrations. Work with 
Ned Freed if you choose to go this route -- he's the designated expert 
reviewer for suffix registrations.

Registering a suffix does not *require* an RFC: it can be attached to 
the media type registration form and done together.
