Couldn't tell you how those arise.  Should we really include
any non-registered types (x-foo) other than as commented lines
indicating what a sysop might want to support?

Bizarrely, both appear to be correct:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/vnd.dvb.subtitle
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/image/vnd.dvb.subtitle

Anyone here active with IANA?  Looks like their mess!

Dunno, but whatever happens, that certainly calls for a comment
to alert our users to a problem arising elsewhere.

Well spotted, Chris!
