MultiAd is our company name. Creator is the name of our software

nature, I don't feel they are "image" documents in the same vein
that the current list of image/* types are. But since they certainly
aren't audio or video, I guess image is the tree that fits best.
I've read through RFC4288, but am still unsure if we should register
only the application/vnd.multiad.creator or both the appliation and
image types. I'm very new to this whole MIME type process (I'm a
developer, not an IT type person). Would you be able to suggest what
would be best, or explain why both might be required?
I don't see a reason to register the image type. It sounds like your
documents are in the same category as PDFs, which are certainly an
application sub-type. Register the application/vnd.multiad.creator
and be done with it. :-)
