I have no idea whether this would be confusing to anyone outside of IANA.
This is text taken over verbatim from RFC 9694 (Section 2.1), and so 
essentially my bad, sorry. I don't have the time to dig further to find 
out where this might have been coming from.

I propose to change the bullet to read as follows:

*  At a minimum, one subtype (not including a potential 'example'
    subtype) MUST be described.  A top-level type without any subtypes
    serves no purpose.  The only exception is the 'example' top-level
    type, with no registered subtypes.

Please take this as a Last Call comment on draft-ietf-mediaman-6838bis-06.

Regards,   Martin.
