Announcement of an I-D

1999-09-26 19:30:23
Simon St. Laurent and I co-authored an I-D for XML media types.  It 
is available at:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-murata-xml-00.txt

This I-D is based on the discussion in this mailing list.  Major differences 
from RFC 2376 are as below:

1. On top of text/xml and application/xml, this I-D further introduces 
application/xml-dtd.

2. The "*/*-xml" convention is introduced.  Throw a rock on it if you disagree.

3. Some remaining issues are pointed out.

4. application/mathml-xml,application/xsl-xml, application/rdf-xml, and 
image/svg-xml 
are used as examples.  Concerned citizens are invited to send comments.  
Although we 
do not actually believe this I-D is the right place for these media types, we 
strongly 
believe that we need some consistent story for XML-based languages of W3C.

   
FYI:  An I-D for text/html is avilable at:
