Yeah, good points. Although you have MIME to lean on. At least that's how @Silberengel and @mleku propose it in their spec.
In any case, I'm all for moving the specs away from a central repo and into wikis. That then can be grouped in an index that can be referenced in actual App Releases.

We have m and M tags, and we use them. But I see them as explanatory and especially useful for more specialized kinds, like 30040s, so that people can understand what they are seeing in the wild. They're also useful labels for events, in search results.
I don't see the value in only having them, tho. I like kinds. Precisely because they are more ambiguous and don't feign exactness.
I don't really get the point of NIPs because I just search the repo for a kind number.
