fix(mime): register application/vnd.k9 without the +nickel suffix - #38
Conversation
`k9-svc/SPEC.adoc` and `k9-svc/IANA-MEDIA-TYPE-APPLICATION.adoc` contradicted each other in `main`: the application registers `application/vnd.k9` *without* a structured-syntax suffix, while the spec and 24 downstream files still declared `application/vnd.k9+nickel`. Owner ruling (2026-09-01): `application/vnd.k9`, no suffix. Structured-syntax suffixes are intended for widely-registered base syntaxes; `+nickel` is not one, and carrying it into IANA review invites a reviewer objection for no gain. Sweeps 25 occurrences across 24 files — mime registrations (`mime.types`, `k9.xml`, `k9.uti.plist`, `k9.magic`), the LSP hover text, both pandoc filters, every `deploy.k9.ncl`, the site pages and the per-binding READMEs. Deliberately NOT swept: `IANA-MEDIA-TYPE-APPLICATION.adoc`, whose two remaining mentions are intentional — one records that earlier drafts used the suffix, the other reserves `+nickel` as a possible future companion type. `k9.xml` and `k9.uti.plist` re-verified as parsing after the edit. This discharges the K9 IANA blocker. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e2def
The PR standardizes the media type as application/vnd.k9 across registrations and documentation, but a bounded documentation contradiction remains between the public site and related registration-status text. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to align those statements.

The shorter MIME now lives there
Pedigrees match the files
Docs align across the miles
Hop, hop—the suffix is gone forever

Clarify the IANA registration status.
This line calls application/vnd.k9 “registered”, but the Pandoc documentation states that IANA registration is pending. Replace “registered” with “proposed”, or qualify the statement as a repository registration, so users do not receive conflicting status information.

Resolves a live contradiction in `main`. `k9-svc/SPEC.adoc:34` declared `application/vnd.k9+nickel`; `k9-svc/IANA-MEDIA-TYPE-APPLICATION.adoc` registers `application/vnd.k9` **without** a structured-syntax suffix. Owner ruled for the no-suffix form on 2026-09-01 — `+nickel` is not a widely-registered base syntax, so carrying it into IANA review invites an objection for no gain. **Swept (live declarations):** `SPEC.adoc` (4), `register.ncl` (3), `README.adoc`, `GUIDE.adoc`, `pedigree.ncl` (the `breed` default). The `.ncl` edits are string-literal values only — no structural change, verified by evaluating the file before and after. **Banner, not rewrite:** `docs/IANA-MEDIA-TYPE.adoc` is the old `+nickel` registration in full. It now carries a SUPERSEDED banner pointing at the current application, matching the convention already used by `REORGANIZATION-PLAN.adoc`. **Deliberately untouched:** `docs/iana/application-vnd.k9+nickel-registration.txt` (archived draft, mentions already historical) and the two intentional mentions in `IANA-MEDIA-TYPE-APPLICATION.adoc` (historical note + reserved future companion type).

Resolves the live contradiction between
SPEC.adocandIANA-MEDIA-TYPE-APPLICATION.adoc.The IANA application registers
application/vnd.k9without a structured-syntax suffix; the spec and 24 downstream files still declaredapplication/vnd.k9+nickel. Owner ruled for the no-suffix form on 2026-09-01.Changed: 25 occurrences across 24 files — mime registrations (
mime.types,k9.xml,k9.uti.plist,k9.magic), LSP hover text, both pandoc filters, everydeploy.k9.ncl, site pages, per-binding READMEs.Not changed:
IANA-MEDIA-TYPE-APPLICATION.adoc— its two+nickelmentions are deliberate (a historical note that earlier drafts used the suffix, and a reservation of+nickelas a possible future companion type).k9.xmlandk9.uti.plistre-verified as parsing after the sweep.Note:
standards/k9-svccarries the same contradiction and is handled separately — that repo is mid-merge and was deliberately not touched.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
