Re: Request for review of media types in draft-ietf-pkix-tamp
Please make sure draft-ietf-pkix-tamp follows BCP 13, RFC 4288. (It is on the level of the obsoleted predecessor of that memo.) RFC 4288 explains at lenght why the use of "MIME" in the context of Media Types is a bad idea, since those are being used at large outside the original eMail context of MIME (the second "M" in "MIME"), in particular in HTTP (and SIP) context. So please delete all instances of the word "MIME" from Appendix B and use the updated registration template presented in RFC 4288 throughout the Appendix! In particular, use plain "media type" / "media subtype" in the prose and "type name" / "subtype name" in the registration clauses. Question: Are the file extensions actually to be given in upper case? Kind regards, Alfred Hönes. -- +------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | TR-Sys Alfred Hoenes | Alfred Hoenes Dipl.-Math., Dipl.-Phys. | | Gerlinger Strasse 12 | Phone: (+49)7156/9635-0, Fax: -18 | | D-71254 Ditzingen | E-Mail: ah@TR-Sys.de | +------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
Thanks. These changes have all been made and will be submitted as a -08 version as soon as practical.
