I see using text/org as an improvement. text/x-org is likely useless. At least, https://github.com/jeremy-compostella/org-msg/blob/master/org-msg.el uses text/org, which may appear in email parts. However, AFAIU, text/org will fall into "standards tree" in IANA media type specification, which means that it MUST be registered, as described in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6838.html#section-3.1 Registering text/org media type requires syntax spec. We are still working on format Org mode syntax specifications. See https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/871rjhha8t....@gmail.com/ and https://orgmode.org/worg/org-syntax.html The spec is still not fully finalized, so we are not yet initiating the registration, as we will need to repeat it again if we decide to make further changes (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6838.html#section-5.5) -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
