Request preliminary check of 8 personal media types

[Damian Dollahite]

I would like to request a preliminary check of 8 media types collected 
in this document:

http://purl.org/int-fiction/ifmi/documents/mediatypes/

This document is not a registration form or specification, rather it is 
a discussion of issues that need to be addressed so that these formats 
can be registered.  It does include examples of how the registration 
forms might be filled out, however.

Currently, these file formats are being transferred using "x-" prefixed 
types; I'm fairly certain that none of the controllers are aware that 
the prs. tree is open to everyone, or else they just assume that 
registration will involve too much paperwork to bother with.  I plan to 
contact them and present them with this document, as well as 
volunteering to handle the paperwork for them.

Once I've discussed these types with the format controllers, I'll submit 
them for another review before proceeding with registration; at this 
point all I need is a quick look-over to make sure I won't be giving the 
format controllers bad advice.  The thing that especially concerns me is 
my use of a "+blorb" suffix on some of the types.  I realize "+" 
suffixes are discouraged, but something of that nature is needed to 
allow correct dispatch of Blorb files.  If "+blorb" is simply not 
appropriate, I'd appreciate suggestions on how else to solve the 
problem; I do not believe a "." or "-" facet is semantically correct here.

Thank you,

    M.D. Dollahite
