My reading of RFC 4288 is that you need to include the registration in-
formation within a publication of a standards body, in this case RFC
5544 should have included it. Would revising RFC 5544 to include the
media type registration be an option here?

(There is no need to repeat that here, it's implied by "binary".)

Note that the field is named "Applications that use this media type". I
would prefer a more specific reference to the kinds of applications in
question (do the TimeStampedData-using applications have anything in
common?)

There appears to be a formatting problem here.

The convention is to use

  Adriano Santoni <adriano.santoni at actalis.it>

>Intended usage : Common

This should be all-uppercase, as in "COMMON".

>Author/Change controller : Adriano Santoni Actalis S.p.A.

As registrations in the standards tree require IESG approval, this
should be "The IESG.". Also, author and change controller are two
fields per the template in RFC 4288.
