Abstract:
This specification standardizes three media types --
application/xml, application/xml-external-parsed-entity, and
application/xml-dtd -- for use in exchanging network entities that
are related to the Extensible Markup Language (XML) while defining
text/xml and text/ xml-external-parsed-entity as aliases for the
respective application/ types. This specification also
standardizes a convention (using the suffix '+xml') for naming
media types outside of these five types when those media types
represent XML MIME entities. XML MIME entities are currently
exchanged via the HyperText Transfer Protocol on the World Wide
Web, are an integral part of the WebDAV protocol for remote web
authoring, and are expected to have utility in many domains.
Major differences from [RFC3023] are alignment of charset handling
for text/xml and text/xml-external-parsed-entity with application/
xml, the addition of XPointer and XML Base as fragment identifiers
and base URIs, respectively, mention of the XPointer Registry, and
updating of many references.
