It is not clear to me why this document is on track for Proposed Standard. I can hardly see how it can be checked vs. criteria of progressing on standards track. Section 5 says 'The 'example' media type and subtypes are defined for use in documentation only.'. RFC4288 - a BCP itself - says in Section 3.1 'In the case of registration for the IETF itself, the registration proposal MUST be published as an RFC' without making a statement about the need for a standards track RFC. Maybe there are some other considerations of consistency, or some precedents that escape me.

I understand that there has been a bunch of discussion in a couple WGs about whether it's OK for documents to use unregistered example MIME types, and that has prompted this proposal. While I think that the original document critique is a stupid concern and over-literalist, I'm OK with the example types being registered if it stops the time-wasting discussions.
