This should be something like

  Optional parameters: 'charset': same as the charset parameter
    of application/xml as specified in [RFC3023].

I think this would read better if you change the order (you start with
the generic security considerations and then add new ones).

If there are no known interoperability issues with the new type, it
should mention that, for example, "None beyond those in ...".

You might consider using "RFC XXXX (this document)" or somesuch instead.

It is customary to use the syntax "Name <address>".

"LIMITED USE" is the correct phrase here. (Also note the formatting
problem, it should use a colon, not a dash).

Given that all media types are intended only for some purposes, I do not
think this should be here (or if there is some particular restriction,
it should be discussed in greater detail).

This should be "The IESG." considering that it is a registration in the
standards tree.
