This is an ops-dir review of draft-ietf-appsawg-xml-mediatypes-09.

According to the introduction, this document replaces RFC 3023 and revamps the
IETF XML-related IANA registries, redefines the areas of alignment between some
XML datatypes and the addition of a new identifier and base URI.  It also makes
some other backwards-incompatible changes.

As a document that defines data types and the like I do not see any operational
issues per se but the backwards-incompatible changes could present an
operational issue.

I think the document could benefit from pulling the various notes about
incompatibilities, changes and operational issues (such as the last paragraph
of appendix C) that are currently in the document into a single operational
considerations section or appendix.
