Hi folks,
I am now delighted to be eating crow - the IESG has
approved 'image/tiff' as an IETF Proposed Standard.

Subject: Protocol Action: Tag Image File Format (TIFF) - image/tiff MIME
Sub-type Registration to Proposed Standard
The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Tag Image File Format
(TIFF) - image/tiff MIME Sub-type Registration'
<draft-ietf-fax-tiff-regbis-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This
document is the product of the Internet Fax Working Group. The
IESG contact persons are Ned Freed and Patrik Faltstrom.
Technical Summary
This document describes the registration of the MIME sub-type
image/tiff, used to indicate the use of the Tag Image File
Format (TIFF) defined by Adobe. This document refines an earlier
sub-type registration in RFC 1528 [TPC.INT] and supersedes
RFC 2302.
Working Group Summary
The group came to consensus on the documents as written.
Moreover, these documents are also to a large degree agreed
to by the ITU study group that is defining similar
functionality in the ITU protocol suite.
Protocol Quality
The specification was reviewed for the IESG by Ned Freed.
