Re: Org mode MIME type

As per <https://orgmode.org/#more> the de-facto mime type for Org is `text/org'.

Why not `text/x-org'? Among other reasons, the `x-' prefix is depreciated as of 
RFC
6648 (2012). Existing MIME type databases that use `text/x-org' should be 
updated
to use `text/org'.

We are missing IETF MIME type registration, but I hope to get to that at some
point. In the mean time the realistic options are `text/org' and
`application/vnd.emacs.org' — and I think we’ll all agree that the former is
vastly preferable.

All the best,
Timothy
