Hi,
The MIME media type registration process has just been significantly
improved (and streamlined for vendor media types). New RFCs:
4288 Media Type Specifications and Registration Procedures. N. Freed,
J. Klensin. December 2005. (Format: TXT=52667 bytes) (Obsoletes
RFC2048) (Also BCP0013) (Status: BEST CURRENT PRACTICE)
4289 Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part Four:
Registration Procedures. N. Freed, J. Klensin. December 2005.
(Format: TXT=21502 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC2048) (Also BCP0013) (Status:
BEST CURRENT PRACTICE)
Oddly, registering MIME media types just got a lot simpler, while
registering URI Schemes just got more restrictive (well, on paper -
in point of fact registering URI Schemes has been effectively broken
for some time). See the IESG approved
<draft-hansen-2717bis-2718bis-uri-guidelines-06.txt>
Cheers,
