Correct, we are in the process of revising 5100.3, but all of the media-col content was moved to PWG 5100.7-2019 (JOBEXT 2.0) and the media type names were long ago moved to PWG 5101.1-2013 (MSN 2.0)

All of the 5100.3 values minus the "screen" types *should* be in 5101.1-2013 - that is where we started when I did MSN 2.0.

And if the registered keywords are not sufficient are we forced to implement all media-type-xxx as name(MAX) instead of type3 keyword?

Actually type2 keyword now (type3 was eliminated by IETF), and the IANA IPP registry is now the master registry for media-type values.  RFC 2534 was about specifying media for web pages and honestly has no relation to the current CSS media handling.

The same as any other IPP keyword value - send an email to the list with your request and we'll discuss it.
