However shouldn’t it be “text/x-org”, not just “text/org”? (I am against
“application/*” variants since it is a text based format).
As per <https://orgmode.org/#more> the de-facto mime type for Org is `text/org'.
Why not `text/x-org'? Among other reasons, the `x-' prefix is depreciated as of
RFC
6648 (2012).
Thanks, I was not aware of this RFC.
Existing MIME type databases that use `text/x-org' should be updated
to use `text/org'.
It's Emacs that has text/x-org.
Out of curiosity I tried to grep local cache of the mailing list. There
are a few attachments having text/plain, almost the same number for
text/org and text/x-org. The most popular media type is
application/vnd.lotus-organizer, its count roughly the sum of other
variants.
Since Emacs has text/x-org for a decade, perhaps it is still reasonable
to ask for an alias in shared-mime-info. Anyway it is better to remove
dash from "Org-mode file" comment there.
