I think so. But I doubt proletext would ever be just another format of

I haven't looked at proletext, but will point out that any subtype of
text pretty much went down in flames when we tried sending some
samples around. We tried text/paragraph with a format that was
basically plain. Too many mailers default to treating this as an
attachment.
The only possibility for something to more or less replace text/plain
would be something like
text/plain; format=proletext.
If it's not a parameter-based modification to text/plain, we might as
well use HTML.
