To whom it may concern, As per the instructions for registering MIME types in the Standards tree with the IETG/IANA ( <ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc4288.txt> ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc4288.txt), I am submitting the following potential media type registration for preliminary community review with the aim of IESG approval before submission to the IANA. I am the Executive Director of a small standards organization devoted to digital texts and electronic books called the International Digital Publishing Forum (www.idpf.org). We created and maintain a standard widely used by the publishing industry to create electronic books called the Open eBook Publication Structure (OEBPS). That specification can be found at http://www.idpf.org/oebps/oebps1.2/index.htm. The OEBPS specification states that there must be something called an OEBPS package file which specifies OEBPS documents, images, and other objects that make up an entire OEBPS publication. What we are looking to do is to formally register a MIME Type for this package file in the standards tree. Specifically, we are seeking to register the following MIME Type for the OEBPS package: "application/oebps-package+xml". If this submission requires additional information for community review and IESG approval, please let me know.
