Chris Lilley will eventually go and register image/svg+xml (see
svg-developer@y... discussion), no Internet-Draft yet.

Aaron Swartz and Daniel Connolly wrote a draft of an internet draft,
http://blogspace.com/rdf/mimetype.txt for application/rdf+xml, no
Internet-Draft yet.

In case of XSLT, the only widely deployed media type is text/xsl, also
unregistered, this has been discussed here, no Internet-Draft for any of
those types. No Internet-Draft for MathML, dunno about any plans.

There is an internet draft for application/smil and
application/smil+xml, see draft-hoschka-smil-media-type-09.txt, as there
is for application/xhtml+xml, see draft-baker-xhtml-media-reg-02.txt,
it's even in Last Call.

Three +xml types are already registered, for BEEP, XUL and whatever
application/vnd.irepository.package+xml is for.
