draft-hoschka-smil-media-type vs +xml

Hi, http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hoschka-smil-media-type-12.txt is a bit old by now, but I don't think application/smil should be COMMON as it does not use the +xml convention for XML media types. Instead, it should be OBSOLETE and application/smil+xml, defined in the same draft, should be used instead. http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/PR-SMIL2-20050927/ only has application/smil (which is not currently registered), it should use application/smil+xml and point out that application/smil is obsolete, assuming that the +xml version will be registered in the not too distant future. regards, -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.

Thanks for spotting this, Björn. I suspect it was copied over from SMIL 2.0 which predates the +xml convention. I agree that application/smil+xml should be the preferred type and should be registered. SMIL editors, the procedure to follow is given at http://www.w3.org/2002/06/registering-mediatype.html (and is supposed to start at last call, by the way) -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
