Register MediaType

[finnp]

This doesn't seem like a fun thing to do. But it would be nice to get application/ndjson approved instead of using application/x-ndjson.

Here is a form for that http://www.iana.org/form/media-types, but it required all kinds of considerations.

Seems like the x- is on its way out (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6648) so I guess people should just start using application/ndjson?

The spec needs to be using a vendor prefix, or register the media type with the IANA. The x- prefix isn't a vendor prefix and still requires registration.

If the registration process seems complicated, well, the whole point of having a specification is to do all the heavy lifting of examining how it interoperates with other specifications, so that developers don't have to. It's not something to skimp out on.

Aside, an RFC is probably one of the easiest kinds of technical documents to publish.
