Hello Yakov,
Good work. Two comments:
- I think registering just text/cvs should be enough.
One point of the registry is to reduce the number of values
used for the same thing to one. The registration can serve
to converge to that.
- I like the realism in the "Encoding considerations" section,
but shouldn't you at least mention LF also for line ends,
or just leave out specific values?
Regards, Martin.

reviewing some of the stuff out there and so far have seen the following

posted to the ID repository yet. A copy should be available here:
