Now you have me worried/confused. Is that document you linked to binding in any
way on the Javascript community? Do you have the power to "accept" it yourself
-- and if so, should we use it as proof of standardization? ;D

My point is not that we should meet an arbitrary milestone that I'd be making
up on the spot, but that we should feel like the types we add are actually
standards (either de facto or otherwise). The stuff you've linked to highlights
relatively recent arguments over whether a new MIME suffix should be
registered, whether the extension should be .mjs or .jsm, etc.

IMO we should add this to httpd once the world says "yes, *this* is how it is."
Which does imply a slight bit of lag time.

Right. Server admins have full power over their mime.types, and if they need
their servers to support this, they don't have to wait for us. We're not
blocking early adoption as far as I can tell.

> Would written statements from browser vendors sway anything?
Sure, it'd certainly give us a better idea of who intends to make use of this.

Keep in mind that I am not the sole gatekeeper for this. If, at any point, an
httpd dev is convinced, then in all likelihood it's going in. I'm just saying
that I'm not personally convinced *yet*.
