Hi Amanda,

I think this is a sensible request to grandfather. One question below 
about the media type name:

Looking at <https://orgmode.org/> it says that the defacto name is 
"text/org", which differs from the above. I would like to know if this 
is just a typo in the registration request or on the web page. Or should 
both be registered and one of them becomes an alias?
