Subtypes and parameters exist to tighten up a specification. Use them.
I would suggest consolidating your proposal into a single subtype, 3D, and
then use parameters for the futher detail. So you'd be using MODEL/3D, but
there would be space for other kinds of models.
Humm... so IGES, VRML, and MESH would be parameters of 3D?
Interesting.
But MESH supports 4D now, and VRML will support 4D "soon". Perhaps
3D and 4D? No, 3D/4D is probably the wrong word. Let's think
about something else.
On the other hand, this would avoid some of the other problems that have
been suggested with different types of models which are not necessarily 3D.
Please continue your train of thought.
