    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.
