Of course a published specification is not necessary for vendor tree
registrations, and the proposed registration documents say it is "to
be published".

There are many formats that re-use application/xml and there are many
+xml formats that cite or otherwise use .xml as appropriate extension.
There is no actual need for a separate file extension. If .xml is what
applications and documents use now, that's what should be registered.
