Each MIME type is added as a codec which codec name is prefixed with 'mime/', i.e.: mime/<mime-type-here> Based on the information at [1] the following ranges are reserved for any mime types/subtypes: Range 0x1000 - 0x17ff: (11 bits) reserved for 'application/*' (there currently are ~1,300 subtypes) Range 0x1800 - 0x18ff: (8 bits) reserved for 'audio/*' (there currently are ~150 subtypes) Range 0x1900 - 0x190f: (4 bits) reserved for 'font/*' (there currently are ~8 subtypes) Range 0x1910 - 0x197f: (7 bits) reserved for 'image/*' (there currently are ~60 subtypes) Range 0x1980 - 0x19cf: (5 bits) reserved for 'message/*' (there currently are ~18 subtypes) Range 0x19d0 - 0x1a3f: (6 bits) reserved for 'model/*' (there currently are ~24 subtypes) Range 0x1a40 - 0x1a8f: (5 bits) reserved for 'multipart/*' (there currently are ~13 subtypes) Range 0x1a90 - 0x1aff: (7 bits) reserved for 'text/*' (there currently are ~71 subtypes) Range 0x1b00 - 0x1b6f: (7 bits) reserved for 'video/*' (there currently are ~78 subtypes) In this PR only the MIME types listed at [2] are declared since these should be the most relevant for the web, plus a few additional ones useful for the semantic web.

@Stebalien is currently kind of the gatekeeper of the multicodecs. Do you know what plan in regards to mime types is? |

So, we could allocate the range 0x200000-0x280000: That's 0.18% of the 4 byte range and it gives us an even 16 bits (65536) entries for each subtype. We could even give "application" a larger range to make room for new types. IIRC, there's already a numeric registry for MIME types somewhere. Are you aware of one? If that's the case, it would be great if we could map that into a range of multicodecs. |
