I'm quite sympathetc to the underlying problem, but IMO this change is
unacceptable, in that in order to make it work the fact that 
a given subtype is
intended for restricted usage would have to be known to the 
display agent. The
whole idea of having top-level types is predicated on not 
needing this sort of
exception information.

Ned, how would you reconcile the current text in your document with the
practice specified in RFC 3555?  It's been alleged that the documents are
not in alignment.
