need advice on registration for YAML format

[Julian Reschke]

Hi,

currently there is no media type registered for YAML (see 
<http://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html>). I'd like to change that.

Two questions though:

1) YAML is a text format, but it has hardwired character sets, similar 
to application/json (detectable via the BOM). This means, it really 
needs to be registered under application/*, right?

2) yaml.org isn't a standards body recognized by the IETF. So, to get 
into the standards tree, the canonical solution would be to move the 
spec into an RFC, right? An alternative would be the vendor tree 
(<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4288#section-3.2>). So would 
application/vnd.yamlorg.yaml make sense?

Best regards, Julian
