Example media type and subtype

A need has arisen in MMUSIC for a media type to use strictly as an example. In the particular case, something like application/example would do. Discussion of the matter led to the suggestion that registrations be defined for */example (presumably scoped to the standards tree only) and a new top-level media type example/*. Since the use would be for documentation only, it would seem that there would not be much to say in most fields of the registration template. Comments? Tom Taylor

Comments?
Sounds like a good idea to me. In fact I almost wish we'd done this in the revised registration procedure document (although perhaps its BCP status makes that a touch problematic). Ned
