[Vorbis-dev] Clarification on MIME types

[Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves]

Just an important detail that I must be sure of before I continue to
draft the RFC I'm working on, as well as going to IANA later.

What makes more sense?

audio/ogg for Ogg FLAC, Speex, Vorbis, Ghost with a disposition type
thrown in in the mix?

Or audio/ogg+flac, audio/ogg+speex, audio/ogg+vorbis, etc?

Let's call the latter the XHTML approach.  It would force us to
register a new MIME type for every project using Ogg.  It would
probably help application developers, though.

The former approach is more akin I think to MPEG's audio/mpeg, which
puts any audio on a MPEG container with that MIME.  See: MP3.  Also,
not a large list of MIME types to register.  However, it may become
harder for developers to support everything out there under audio/ogg.

This concern applies as well to video/ogg, but not to application/ogg,
because it would be impossible to track all possible mixes that might
go in .ogx
