Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Python media-type parsing and matching functions and their tests, then trace how application/vnd.oai.openapi+json is handled; done means matching can use its group and json suffix while preserving the complete media type.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Since the times of XML media often have a suffix, for example application/vnd.oai.openapi+json. This conveys separate information on syntax and semantics.

Ability to match by group and suffix (in the example: application, json) would let applications to communicate the exact media type, and libraries to process such content in a generic way.
