This is my previous conversation with Colin Perkins at IETF regarding
audio/vorbis. For interested parties. Last two paragraphs are the most
interesting ones.

Provided that it explains that it is not for streaming, and that another
format is in development, then I don't see why not.

Yes. The audio/mpa vs. audio/mpeg thing is the result of combining two
previously separate namespaces, and not something we should emulate in
new formats.
