Testing the waters for text/troff

[Bruce Lilly]

I am quite surprised that there is no registered MIME media type for
text with nroff/troff markup, especially as that format has traditionally
been used for RFC and Internet Draft documents (RFC 2223).  I
could find no record in the archives of this mailing list of any
discussion on the matter.  Has there been any proposal for such a
text subtype, and if so, what were the reasons that have prevented
it from being approved?
