- We have to worry about newline conversion. Encoders and decoders need to
know whether line breaks should be mapped to CRLF and vice-versa. Anyone
registering a text subtype should specify this. (Anyone registering any
subtype should specify it, I think.)
- I know of one WP that stores its text largely as plain text, but in
random chunks of no particular size or order. Is it worthwhile to call
this a text subtype? If not, then we have a guideline about presenting
text in order. :-)
