Request for review of media types in draft-ietf-pkix-tamp

Folks, I originally requested this review on 12 April, but just now checked the archives and realized that the message did not appear on the list. I have now subscribed to the list, so hopefully we will get a better result this time! Given the number of media types, please let me know if the usual two week timeline presents a problem. Thanks, Tim Polk ------ Forwarded Message From: "Polk, William T." <william.polk@nist.gov> Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2010 11:35:53 -0400 To: <ietf-types@iana.org> Subject: Request for review of media types in draft-ietf-pkix-tamp Folks, The PKIX WG specification "Trust Anchor Management Protocol (TAMP)", which is available at http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-pkix-tamp-07.txt, is currently in IESG Evaluation. Unfortunately, this specification includes eleven MIME media types which were never announced on this list. I am now (belatedly) requesting that review.

This should include a brief discussion why eleven types are needed.
B.1. application/tamp-status-query
To: ietf-types@iana.org
Subject: Registration of MIME media type application/ tamp-status-query
These lines are not really meant to be included in RFCs.
MIME media type name: application
(Alfred HÎnes already commented on this.)
Required parameters: None
Optional parameters: None
Encoding considerations: Binary
(This should probably be "binary" instead.)
Intended usage: COMMON
It might be more accurate to use "LIMITED USE" here. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub. KeyID: 0xA4357E78 · http://www.websitedev.de/
