I think there are absolutely some benefits for Org users. I am
personally interested in registering Org as an IANA MIME type.

What will this do? Well, for starters I'd like to be able to 
attach org
files without the type being recognised as
"application/vnd.lotus-organizer" 🤢.

I also think it's to our benefit that non-Emacsers become more
comfortable with seeing an org file --- as I see it that improves 
our
chances that we can directly share Org files with them, which they 
might
be comfortable editing and sending back for example, or that a 
generic
tool might think to support Org files.

So I'd like to assure you that my interest in improving 
recognition and
support for Org is motivated by selfish reasons 😛 which just so 
happen
to potentially benefit non-Emacsers.

I hope that clarifies my view of the proposal,

Timothy
