According to RFC 4288 section 4.10:

  As stated previously, standards tree registrations for media types
  defined in documents produced by other standards bodies MUST be
  described by a formal standards specification produced by that body.
  Such specifications MUST contain an appropriate media type
  registration template taken from Section 10.

You did not really use this template; for example, the RFC 4288 uses a
"Type name" field while you use "MIME media type name", and you use a
single "Author/Change controller" field while the RFC 4288 template has
two separate fields.

I think it would be better to have one template for each type.

This needs to be one of "7bit", "8bit", "binary", "framed". This
information should probably go into "Restrictions on usage" or into
"Additional information".
