Yes, we agreed to have .ogx and mime application/ogg for any kind of
stuff multiplexed into an Ogg that doesn't fit with audio/ogg or
video/ogg.

http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/MIME_Types_and_File_Extensions is still
up-to-date.

Ivo: I have done these RFCs before, so please put the copies of the
draft RFCs that you are working on into svn so we can all share in
their development. They should be treated no different to code.

Glad you started on them!

Cheers,
Silvia.
