There's no official place that I know of.

For UTIs, URLs have been a bit changing at Apple, the Wikipedia page  
seems the most faithful:
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Type_Identifier
and a page at Apple is:
	http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/understanding_utis/understand_utis_intro/understand_utis_intro.html

For Windows the only pages I know of are:
	.NET:	http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.dataformats.aspx
	C++        http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632538.aspx

I've been vaguely trying to list these at my page: http://eds.activemath.org/en/node/161

 From the discussion within the W3C Math Working Group members, it  
appears that there's no registration methods anymore (people from  
MicroSoft, Design Science, and MapleSoft among others).

One thing I learned the hard way (there was a draft with that error)  
is that dashes (the minus sign "-") is not allowed in MS clipboard  
flavor names. Another is that lack of specification gives a broad  
amount of fancy attempts by just about any implementor.

The pages of the platform makers describe how applications register  
their clipboard types when running or in the application descriptors.

As far as I know there's no other thing to do than write this in a  
spec expected to be read by implementors.

Perfect then.
