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?
I vote for the latter.
what happens when there are three frobs?
can they appear in any order?
I think so ... the implementation would be somewhat similar to
having a command recognize it's switches when they can occur in
any order ... not so difficult, really.
