orry, there is an existing RFC proposal for application/ogg that Linus
wrote and submitted.

that was knocked back due to insufficient supporting standards docs, hence
the RFC for the Ogg format itself that Silvia wrote.

Linus' point above was simply that the other codec-specific MIME types
also have their own RFCs as needed for different reasons, eg. for RTP.

I guess we should spend our time reading and commenting on the existing
standards proposals rather than arguing in circles ;-)
