Thanks for the suggestions Frank. I added some information under 
published specification to describe both media types.
We still want to keep the vnd.software602.filler.xml+form and 
vnd.software602.filler.xml+zip+form subtypes, because they are highly 
descriptive in our opinion. Is this a important issue to be considered?

Here follows the updated registration proposal:

------------------------------------------------------
---FO---

 Type name: application

 Subtype name: Vendor Tree - vnd.software602.filler.xml+form

 Required parameters: None

 Optional parameters: None

 Encoding considerations: UTF-8

 Security considerations: FO is a XML-based plain text format, secured 
by signing the file itself through the means of the XML Signature standard.

 Interoperability considerations: There are no special interoperability 
issues.

 Published specification: Software602 distinguishes the FO file as a XML 
data file containing an electronic form intended for usage in the 602XML 
applications. The form is a composure of the layout structure using 
XSL-FO, data instance and data model using generic XML elements defined 
in the 602XML framework. The whole electornic form structure is always 
embedded into a digital signature represented by XML elements of the XML 
Signature standard

 Applications that use this media type: The FO file is used by the 
Software602 602XML applications - 602XML Filler, 602XML Designer, 602XML 
Designer Express and 602XML FormServer

 Additional information:

   Magic number(s): NONE
   File extension(s): FO
   Macintosh file type code(s): -

 Intended usage: Common

 Restrictions on usage: None

---ZFO---

 Type name: application

 Subtype name: Vendor Tree - vnd.software602.filler.xml+zip+form

 Required parameters: None

 Optional parameters: None

 Encoding considerations: UTF-8

 Security considerations: ZFO is a XML-based plain text format packed 
using the ZIP archive algorithms. The XML content is secured by signing 
the file itself through the means of the XML Signature standard. The ZIP 
file itself can be protected in the usual way by setting up a password.

 Interoperability considerations: There are no special interoperability 
issues.

 Published specification: Software602 distinguishes the ZFO file as a 
ZIP archive file containing the FO electronic form. The FO electronic 
form is a XML data file containing an electronic form intended for usage 
in the 602XML applications. The form is a composure of the layout 
structure using XSL-FO, data instance and data model using generic XML 
elements defined in the 602XML framework. The whole electornic form 
structure is always embedded into a digital signature represented by XML 
elements of the XML Signature standard

 Applications that use this media type: The ZFO file is used by the 
Software602 602XML applications - 602XML Filler, 602XML Designer, 602XML 
Designer Express and 602XML FormServer
