approximately zero people care about this but i am just now realizing that application/xrd+xml was never registered with the IANA https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml

i'm doing unrelated research on media subtype suffixes and comparing them to rel=profile or the `profile` parameter. that's how i discovered this

speaking of profiles vs media types: AS2-Core describes the AS2 format as a profile of JSON-LD but then *also* goes on to register an explicit application/activity+json media type
Why

afaict, media types are supposed to be registered when something has specifically "define[d] a complete set of processing rules"
suffixes or "augmented subtypes" are supposed to indicate that your media type can also be "generically processed" as that +type. for example image/svg+xml indicates that it is an svg image, but that the encoding of svg is xml.
there don't seem to be any specific processing rules for AS2??? which implies it shouldn't be its own media type. but it is. oh well!

actually there is something funny here, and that is that if you believe "activity" is its own media format and not simply a profile of json(ld), then this implies the potential existence of application/activity+xml

@yala idk i'd still think application/json with a profile makes more sense than application/activity+json. i'd probably change my mind if there were an actual file extension defined for AS2, like .activity or .as2 or something

realizing that the activitystreams profile isn't registered with the IANA either https://www.iana.org/assignments/profile-uris/profile-uris.xhtml
