This one should be rejected for procedural reasons.
RFC 1521 says that "In the future, more top-level types may be
defined only by an extension to this standard." (chapter 4).
So it's standards track stuff, no matter what the author thinks.

(The latest MIME draft is even more explicit, saying "must be done via
standards-track RFC").
