The alternative, however, is to say nothing.
I'm not convinced that that's the only alternative.
I was talking about what to do with the text/* types we're discussing. And its a binary choice: Either we register them or we don't.
Registration is a binary choice, but that does not preclude mentioning inappropriate use of unregistered type names in an RFC which also registers appropriate types.
Well, all I can say is that I disagree. I don't think a registration of the right thing is nearly as powerful as registering the right and warning against the wrong.
I have no qualms about either "registering the right" or "warning against the wrong". Registering the wrong is another matter.
