[vorbis] OGGs MIME type?

Hi!

According to ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types
there hasn't been any MIME type registered with OGG yet. What will it
look like? audio/ogg, audio/prs.ogg, audio/basic or something like that?

I'm asking because .ogg files are displayed as text in browser windows
as long as it isn't registered. Netscape for Linux claims not to need a
MIME type in its preferences ("If you don't know the MIME type, leave
the field blank."), but unfortunately that's not true ... it complains
that the mime-type field may not be empty.

Is it sufficient to enter bogus information, or will that cause problems
like ascii downloads and similar?

Thanks for your help,

Moritz
