FYI:  RFC 2506;  also RFC 2533.

(Content-feature is currently an I-D proposal that employs this framework to label MIME content.)

And to try and dispel some misunderstandings: I have suggested use of the CONNEG framework for _content negotiation_. To me, the use of "-xml" as an aid to detecting generic XML seems a reasonable and useful idea; I just think that using a naming convention as a basis for content negotiation would be pushing it too far.
