You're right, no one ever took the time to register a MIME type for OpenCL C. Even the file extension `.cl` doesn't seem to be “official”, at least I can't find any reference to it in the official documents.

I will try to contact Khronos about this and ask them to register with IANA or do it myself, if they don't care. Obviously this is the right way.
