RFC 3023 states that for application/mathml+xml, "no content type has 
yet  been registered for MathML and so this media type should not be 
used until such registration has been completed." Similar statements are 
given for SVG, RDF, and XSLT.

What is the current status of these registrations? None of them have 
made it through the IANA registration. At least none of them are listed 
at http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/application/

Has anybody actually begun the process of registering these four types?

Chris Lilley will eventually go and register image/svg+xml (see
svg-developer(_at_)yahoogroups(_dot_)com discussion), no Internet-Draft yet.

Aaron Swartz and Daniel Connolly wrote a draft of an internet draft,
http://blogspace.com/rdf/mimetype.txt for application/rdf+xml, no
Internet-Draft yet.

In case of XSLT, the only widely deployed media type is text/xsl, also
unregistered, this has been discussed here, no Internet-Draft for any of
those types. No Internet-Draft for MathML, dunno about any plans.

There is an internet draft for application/smil and
application/smil+xml, see draft-hoschka-smil-media-type-09.txt, as there
is for application/xhtml+xml, see draft-baker-xhtml-media-reg-02.txt,
it's even in Last Call.

Three +xml types are already registered, for BEEP, XUL and whatever
application/vnd.irepository.package+xml is for.
