Well, hooray. Moving it to an official header seems reasonable to me.

We'll have to support both forever, of course, like application/x-ogg.
But I think adoption is low enough there's still time, assuming the
firefox folks agree.

Looking at the provisional template, there has to be a citeable spec
(but I guess it doesn't have to be an rfc?). Can that just be a wiki
page, or should we do an rfc draft and point to that for the
provisional registry with the expectation of publishing it as an rfc
once there's more adoption?

I've created http://wiki.xiph.org/ContentDuration as a place to work on a draft.
