Lack of maturity for CoAP makes it a non-starter at the moment. Hopefully it moves out of draft status in the next year because I am actually interested in
it and have been keeping tabs on the spec … but I have to live in the present

Does anyone in the m2m-iwg think there should be an M2M/IoT IANA registered root media-type? For example, instead of “application” we could use “m2m” to indicate this content-type

Could save some bytes too on all those HTTP requests flying around
If the aim is to reduce traffic, not using HTTP would be a better step.
CoAP is a web transfer protocol for constrained environments which has all of the same concepts as HTTP.
It uses a mapping from content type strings to small integers.
