Proposal to register application/vnd.dia+xml

[Ron Wilson]

I am proposing to register application/vnd.dia+xml as the media type
for diagrams created by Dia, a diagramming tool hosted at
http://live.gnome.org/Dia

I have made multiple attempts to contact the lead developer of Dia,
have received no response, so I am advancing this proposal myself for
the benefit of both the Dia project and its users (which included me).

Proposed media type: application/vnd.dia+xml

The Dia file format is based on XML, so all considerations regarding XML apply.

Is this the best media type to use? I chose this because the similar
application, Visio, appears to have registered application/vnd.visio
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.visio).

Please comment.

If there are no objections, I will prepare and submit the registration request.
