Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/corn-config/corn/issues/47

Since you haven't actually submitted anything to IANA, you should probably use application/vnd.corn instead of application/corn, since having an unprefixed MIME type puts strict requirements on the type of standard being listed, or widespread use, neither of which seem to apply here.

The vnd. prefix is pretty loose and stands for "vendor," and is meant for cases like this: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6838.html#section-3.2

Thanks for this, I was not aware of that. I'll get that amended as soon as I get time.

You can also just apply directly to get vnd.corn listed from what I'm aware; I believe that just linking the repo is enough.

You can see a similar burgeoning language go through this process here:
