| I think at least the first of these, maybe both, are in scope.

I think they are in scope, the question is really if they are
important enough to warrant inclusion.

| mapping media types to DTD NOTATION declarations.

This one I think is outside scope, however. It's not geography, nor is
it linguistic. Both of the above are linguistic, or at least clearly
related to linguistic information.

The problem is that it would probably be a quite useful PSI set.  I'm
not sure what to do about that.
