The CONNEG group has produced a new draft on media. This includes a
suggested identification scheme for media such as paper media in a
printer.
We need to look at this and give our feedback.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Content Negotiation Working Group of
the IETF.
Title : Media Feature Tag Registration Procedure
Author(s) : T. Hardie, K. Holtman, A. Mutz
Filename : draft-ietf-conneg-feature-reg-03.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 28-Jul-98
Recent Internet applications, such as the World Wide Web, tie
together a great diversity in data formats, client and server
platforms, and communities. This has created a need for media
feature descriptions and negotiation mechanisms in order to identify
and reconcile the form of information to the capabilities and
preferences of the parties involved.
Extensible media feature identification and negotiation mechanisms
require a common vocabulary in order to positively identify media
features. A registration process and authority for media features
is defined with the intent of sharing this vocabulary between
communicating parties. In addition, a URI tree is defined to enable
sharing of media feature definitions without registration.
This document defines a registration procedure which uses the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) as a central registry for
the media feature vocabulary.

Send a message to: mailserv at ietf.org. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-conneg-feature-reg-03.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail
readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
