For a long time MIME types didn't contain + characters.  It was only
when the W3C came out with xhtml+xml that the whole thing exploded.
Now you have rss+xml, xspf+xml, and all the MIME types of the
different OpenDocument formats.

I still have no idea what json is.  If it's nothing that will help
spread open media formats, especially Xiph ones, I see no reason to
even bother with it.

Not surprisingly though, the XSPF MIME is still in process of being
registered.  This process is a pain in the behind.  Lucas has been, as
far as I know, involved in it for a long long time.

Every path is the right one as long as it leads you somewhere you need to be.
