Re: Registration of media typeimage/svg+xml

Martin, in a couple of places you complained that the SVG registration
template, contained in a W3C document, referred to "this specification",
and said:

# "this specification" doesn't work when the registration template is 
# taken out of the SVG spec. Either say "the SVG specification" or 
# explicitly reference a specific version of the specification.

However, I think it is common practice both in W3C and IETF, that
a registration template embedded within another document can
reasonably say "this specification" to mean the document in which
it is embedded, with the registry itself pointing to an
explicit version of the spec as well as the template within.

There are plenty of examples... perhaps those comments don't apply?

(This comment applies to all registries, not just of media types.)
