Hello,

The January 6, 2003 version of the XHTML-Print spec has an issue number 6
(http://www.pwg.org/hypermail/xp/0133.html). At issue is the question of
whether the description of the usage of the optional charset parameter
provide with the MIME type, should be section 3.1 
"text/xml" of RFC3023 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3023.txt) or section 3.2 
"application/xml" of RFC3023. 

Don Wright said "I thought we closed this issue at the last meeting?" in
message http://www.pwg.org/hypermail/xp/0130.html.  If found that this issue
was discussed and settled last April
http://www.pwg.org/xhtml-print/minutes/Minutes-April-17-2002.txt see "MIME
parameters"

  ""charset" has identical semantics to charset in 
  "application/xml" (RFC3023); 3023 explains why this
  is "more authoritative" than the corresponding XML 
  declaration.

Therefore, I will change the reference as Fujisawa-san suggested in
http://www.pwg.org/hypermail/xp/0076.html and close the issue.
