We were planning to register .mrc for MARC, but had not been able to
figure out what to put in the IANA form. We will look at it again and try
to get it done. Since MARC is a record structure and the various flavors
are basically the same structure, we weren't going to register separate
ones for UNIMARC, USMARC, etc.
