I wonderered for some time why the draft defines the same types twice,
until I noticed there is actually a slight difference between those
names. Have you considered using names that are more difficult to con-
fuse, or at least explain what 'cv' and 'vp' denote at the beginning of
the media type appendices, or in the "Applications that use this media
type" field?
