please comment on media-type registrations for MathML

2009-10-07 09:45:24

Dear Media-types experts,

the last-call period for MathML3 has now launched and is set to end Nov 11th.
See the announce at: 
http://www.w3.org/mid/9F0A2A05-3BCD-4E00-8B63-0DE2419CB98E(_at_)ams(_dot_)org

In this specification draft, one can find three registrations for media-types related to MathML in the appendix B:
        http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-MathML3-20090924/appendixb.html
They are copied below.

I would love comments on them until Nov 11th.

Paul


B.1 Media type for Generic MathML

This registration is for community review and will be submitted to the IESG for review, approval, and registration with IANA.

Type name: application
Subtype name: mathml+xml
Required parameters: none
Optional parameters: charset as per [RFC3023]
Encoding considerations: same as XML as specified in [RFC3023].
Security considerations: none
Interoperability considerations: entities with this media type also have the media type application/xml and may also have the media types application/presentation-mathml+xml or application/content-mathml+xml.
Published specification: MathML-3, draft at: http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML3/
Applications that use this media type: (todo)
Additional information
  Magic number(s): see [RFC3023]
  File extension(s): .mml
  Windows Clipboard Name: MathML
  Macintosh file type code(s) MML
Macintosh Universal Type Identifier code: public.mathml conforming to public.xml Person & email address to contact for further information: World Wide Web Consortium web-human(_at_)w3(_dot_)org
Intended usage: COMMON
Restrictions on usage: None
Author and Change controller: The MathML specification is the product of the World Wide Web Consortium's Math Working Group. The W3C has change control over this specification.


B.2 Media type for Presentation MathML

This registration is for community review and will be submitted to the IESG for review, approval, and registration with IANA.

Type name: application
Subtype name: mathml-presentation+xml
Required parameters: none
Optional parameters: charset as per [RFC3023]
Encoding considerations: same as XML as specified in [RFC3023].
Security considerations: none
Interoperability considerations: This media type is a more specific type than application/mathml+xml. Hence any entity of this type is also of the type application/mathml+xml as well as application/xml. An agent offering this specific media type MUST also offer the application/mathml+xml media type. An agent delivering an entity of this media type SHOULD only do so if it knows the receiving party supports it, for example thanks to the Accept http header, and should otherwise deliver the more generic type.
Published specification: MathML-3, draft at: http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML3/
Applications that use this media type: (todo)
Additional information:
  Magic number(s): see [RFC3023]
  File extension(s): none
  Windows Clipboard Name: MathML Presentation
  Macintosh file type code(s) MMLp
Macintosh Universal Type Identifier code: public.mathml.presentation conforming to public.mathml (described above) conforming to public.xml Person & email address to contact for further information: World Wide Web Consortium web-human(_at_)w3(_dot_)org
Intended usage: COMMON
Restrictions on usage: None

B.3 Media type for Content MathML

This registration is for community review and will be submitted to the IESG for review, approval, and registration with IANA.

Type name: application
Subtype name: mathml-content+xml
Required parameters: none
Optional parameters: charset as per [RFC3023]
Encoding considerations: same as XML as specified in [RFC3023].
Security considerations: none
Interoperability considerations: This media type is a more specific type than application/mathml+xml. Hence any entity of this type is also of the type application/mathml+xml as well as application/xml. An agent offering this specific media type MUST also offer the application/mathml+xml media type. An agent delivering an entity of this media type SHOULD only do so if it knows the receiving party supports it, for example thanks to the Accept http header, and should otherwise deliver the more generic type.
Published specification: MathML-3, draft at: http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML3/
Applications that use this media type: (todo)
Additional information:
  Magic number(s): see [RFC3023]
  File extension(s): none
  Windows Clipboard Name: MathML Content
  Macintosh file type code(s): MMLc
Macintosh Universal Type Identifier code: public.mathml.content conforming to public.mathml (described above) conforming to public.xml Person & email address to contact for further information: World Wide Web Consortium web-human(_at_)w3(_dot_)org
Intended usage: COMMON
