MIME media type name: application MIME subtype name: its+xml Required parameters: none Optional parameters: charset This parameter has identical semantics to the charset parameter of the "application/xml" media type as specified in IETF RFC 3023. Encoding considerations: Identical to those of "application/xml" as described in IETF RFC 3023, section 3.2, as applied to an ITS document. Security considerations: An ITS 1.0 document may cause arbitrary URIs or IRIs to be dereferenced, via the @xlink:href attribute at the its:rules element. Therefore, the security issues of [RFC3987] Section 8 should be considered. In addition, the contents of resources identified by file: URIs can in some cases be accessed, processed and returned as results. An implementation of ITS global rules requires the support of XPath 1.0 or its successor. Hence, processing of global rules might encompass dereferencing of URIs or IRIs during computation of XPath expressions. Arbitrary recursion is possible, as is arbitrarily large memory usage, and implementations may place limits on CPU and memory usage, as well as restricting access to system-defined functions. ITS 1.0 permits extensions. Hence it is possible that application/its+xml may describe content that has security implications beyond those described here. Interoperability considerations: There are no known interoperability issues. Published specifications: http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-its-20070403/ Applications which use this media type: This new media type is being registered to allow for deployment of ITS 1.0 on the World Wide Web. Additional information: File extension: its Fragment identifiers: A syntax identical to that of "application/xml" as described in IETF RFC 3023. Base URI: As specified in IETF RFC 3023, section 6.
