Mark, One thing I didn't catch earlier (sorry): the change controller for types in the standards tree MUST be the IESG. It would be more appropriate to say it's the IETF community as described in RFC 2048 and the documents that will soon obsolete 2048, but the IESG is the standards process gatekeeper so that's what we've been using. We've also accepted text where people have said something like "The <foo> working group as designated by the IESG". -Scott-

---8<---- An Atom Document, when serialized as XML 1.0, can be identified with the following media type:
MIME media type name: application MIME subtype name: atom+xml Mandatory parameters: None. Optional parameters: "charset": This parameter has identical semantics to the charset parameter of the "application/xml" media type as specified in [RFC3023]. Encoding considerations: Identical to those of "application/xml" as described in [RFC3023], section 3.2. Security considerations: As defined in this specification. [[anchor59: update upon publication]] In addition, as this media type uses the "+xml" convention, it shares the same security considerations as described in [RFC3023], section 10. Interoperability considerations: There are no known interoperability issues. Published specification: This specification. [[anchor60: update upon publication]] Applications that use this media type: No known applications currently use this media type.
