I suspect that 3-D models don't fit well into (2-D) image/*. Can you
usefully display a 3-D model with a fax machine? Seems like you at
least need to be able to interact with the model so you can change
perspective, etc.
By definition, *any* new type fits into application/* if it doesn't
fit into some other category. The question is, do these types need
some special handling beyond application/*?
