The problem here is that RFC and Internet-Drafts are not plain
ASCII. They are technically in a special format that I would
call "line-printer ready text file", and ASCII is the
encoding, not the format. What is needed is:
- - A mime-type for line-printer ready text (say text/lp)
- - An heuristic to recognize text/lp files (it's too late for
a specific extension). Apache HTTP server can use the AddType
directive for these files[1]. - - A program to display text/lp
files, one at least for each platform. If someone take care
of the mime-type, I'll write the program to display correctly
text/lp files on the Android platform.
Out of curiosity (and again my better judgment about getting
further involved in this discussion), why do you think
text/lp
is needed and not
text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"; format=lp"
?
Did not think of that, that's better IMO. Apache can do this (the link I gave
in a previous email is now returning "text/plain; format=lp;
charset=us-ascii").
http://ietf.implementers.org/mime/rfc5928.txt now returns text/lp
http://ietf.implementers.org/format/rfc5928.txt now returns text/plain;format=lp
