[Ballot comment]
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.

[Ballot comment]
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.

[Ballot discuss]
The document says:

  Subtype name: any subtype may be used with the 'example' type.
  However, subtypes of 'example' MUST NOT be registered.

I think this is not quite clear enough.  I first read it as preventing registration
of things like type/example; that wouldn't make sense, obviously, since this
document registers several of those.  The intent is to say that "IANA MUST NOT
register subtypes for the 'example" type. "

It is not clear to me why this document covers some top-level types and not
all (e.g. model/example or message/example).  I would like to discuss whether
this should be fully generalized, or whether those should be added only on
demonstrated need.
