Please review the following media type registration excerpted from draft-ietf-keyprov-pskc-05.txt, which is currently in IETF Last Call.
12.1. Content-type registration for 'application/pskc+xml'
This specification requests the registration of a new MIME type according to the procedures of RFC 4288 [RFC4288] and guidelines in RFC 3023 [RFC3023].
MIME media type name: application
This is based on an obsolete template, the template from RFC 4288 should be used instead (some field names are different).
MIME subtype name: pskc+xml
Mandatory parameters: none
Optional parameters: charset
Indicates the character encoding of enclosed XML.
Encoding considerations: Uses XML, which can employ 8-bit characters, depending on the character encoding used. See RFC 3023 [RFC3023], Section 3.2.
As per RFC 3023, section 7.1: Registrations for new XML-based media types under top-level types other than "text" SHOULD, in specifying the charset parameter and encoding considerations, define them as: "Same as [charset parameter / encoding considerations] of application/xml as specified in RFC 3023."
Security considerations: This content type is designed to carry PSKC protocol payloads.
This should probably include a reference to the security considerations section in the draft.
Additional information:
Magic Number: None
File Extension: .pskcxml
Macintosh file type code: 'TEXT'
