This looks like something Patrick could look into and generate a pull request that clarifies the situation.

Personally I think the arguments against doing this are still valid.

A new mime type complicates lots of processing ans would anyway have to be optional so any receiving application would need to handle multiple mime types.

As one example we have no control over the mime types in github pages .ocd files are served as application/octet-stream from the canonical URL of each CD files whatever mime type we suggest.

This is probably so, but I just assured Michael I would look into

35. If we don't have one we can be careful in explaining

why we don't think it's desirable in this case.
