Hi Patrice,

you can also submit a media type on behalf of others. I did it for
text/gff3.  If you can not contact the members of the RSS Advisory
Board (which seems inactive), I think that you have good grounds to fill
the registration form by yourself.

It looks like somebody convinced the previous maintainer to remove
application/rss+XML in favour of the unregistered one!

10 years later, that surely does not look like it was the best choice…

But please give a try to the IANA registration.  It is way easier than
10 years ago.

Have a nice day,

Charles
