You propose to use a specialized media type for a fragment and
to use a different media type for the entire resource.
Ah, I misunderstood you. I thought you were referring to a separate
media type for the embedded RNG itself, not for use by the referrer to
that RNG. I wouldn't encourage the referrer to use a separate media
type since it violates the principle that the server provided media type
be authoritative in determining fragment identifier.
I agree with your premise that a new media type for each new XML
vocabulary is not a scalable, long-term solution. But neither do I
think that application/xml is a solution. The work being done in the
CDF WG may provide one, but for now though, I agree with Liam and
Martin that a new media type makes the most sense.
