Not that I'm aware of. Down to the group developing the ns based
app/std? They apply, if the paperwork is right they get a mime type

Perhaps this is just an extension of the 'how to fix namespaces' issue
since processing on namespace is not far from processing on mime type.
Potentially flawed | valid based on the setup.
