WHEN I registered a media-type on the ietf list I have been quite much

MIME is meant for email originally.
So I guess politically media-type is a requirement.
Should I dig for a formal requirement?
HTML and other specifications use MIME type. Media type is ambiguous
with CSS.
The correct term IMHO is "(Internet) Media Type", so disambiguation is
possible.
I don't believe it's helpful to maintain different sets of terminology.
Use the official term, and when disambiguation is needed, it's trivial
to do so.
