Re: Registration of new charset ISO 11548-1

[Erik van der Poel <erikv@google.com>]

I'm just concerned that we might start seeing headers like this if we
don't provide any recommendations:

Content-Type: application/x-braille; charset=ISO-11548-1

Would application/octet-stream be a suitable content type for
ISO-11548-1? Maybe this should be explicitly mentioned in the
registration, like this:

Suitability for use in MIME text:

No. May be used with application/octet-stream.
