We would like to register

text/vnd.qt.qml => a file adhering to the QML grammar/syntax .qml
suffix, subclass of text/plain; charset=utf-8

and as subclasses of that

  text/vnd.qt.qbs+qml => .qbs suffix
  text/vnd.qt.meta-info+qml => .qmltypes suffix
  text/vnd.qt.project+qml => .qmlproject suffix

I have also a patch for the free desktop shared-mime-info that reflects
that change.
I am pasting it at the end of this email for reference.

Hi Julian thanks for the comment,

Regarding the "+qml" suffix -- you should consult <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-appsawg-media-type-regs-14>. You will likely realize that the use of the "+" notation isn't justified in this case.

Qml is actually a language with a well defined grammar
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtdeclarative/blobs/stable/src/qml/qml/parser/qqmljs.g
that is basically an extended javascript syntax.

All those documents share that syntax (and parser).
So I thought it was ok to use +qml for them.

>From the document it seems that is allowed, you mean that it should not be done because
1) qml definition is not performed by a standard body, or similar
2) one should register also the base type without the qml syntax
3) not worth it/correct in the vmd tree or because it is the only syntax available for those documents
4)?

Best regards

Fawzi
