Re: reason for application/iotp-xml (was RE: Registration of MIME med ia type APPLICATION/IOTP)

Again, I'm not especially supportive of the frob as I fail to see very much
utility in it. But I also don't oppose it. I see it as "mostly harmless".

here's the question: say someone else wants to define another frob,
and it's orthogonal to xml.  does a type that uses both the new
frob and the xml frob then become application/foo-xml-newfrob 
or application/foo-newfrob-xml?  
or do MIME readers have to recognize both forms?
what happens when there are three frobs?
can they appear in any order?

if we're going to add frobs to content-types, then it seems like we
should do this in a way that allows for extensibility.
