Hi Mike,

I'm currently not in a location where I can get to the IANA registry to look this up myself, what is the difference in meaning between the oe and om prefixes in the media names?

Thanks.

Best Regards,

/Paul

After looking at the existing photo entries, maybe the following would be more consistent:

   oe_square-photo_4x4in
   oe_square-photo_5x5in
   om_square-photo_89x89mm
