I understand the W3C liaison will do this part.

some indicated that lack of implement (or "significant"  
implementations?) could be a critical factor. is it the case?

I have now drafted a first version of the forms for three types:

W3C members can access at:
   http://www.w3.org/Math/Group/wiki/MimeForms
the public at:
   http://www.activemath.org/~paul/tmp/media-type-regs-draft.html

I have changed the subtypes to mathml-presentation+xml and mathml- 
content+xml.

Feedback welcome.
If all goes well, this will slip in the next working draft of MathML3.
