Irvine X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet E-mail/MAPI - 8.0.0.4211 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Chris, Members of the IESG, In the WebDAV Working Group we had been assuming that someone from the W3C or the XML community had registered the text/xml media type, and were surprised to discover that text/xml had not yet been registered with IANA. Thank you for drawing our attention to this matter. We have indeed taken this as an action item, and I have just submitted Internet Draft to the Internet-Drafts directory, where it should appear in the next few days. This draft is also available from: http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/webdav/xml/draft-whitehead-mime-xml-00.txt This draft is titled, "The text/xml Media Type", and contains the registration for text/xml. I have forwarded this draft along to the W3C XML Special Interest Group so that it can be reviewed by the XML community. My intent is to collect feedback from this community, and revise the text/xml registration draft based on this feedback, submitting a new revision on May 1. At this time I will also submit this draft to the IESG for approval, so that the WebDAV Distributed Authoring Protocol and the text/xml registration can be considered at the same time. In this way, consideration of the WebDAV Distributed Authoring Protocol can take place independent of the text/xml registration status. - Jim Whitehead Chair, IETF WEBDAV WG > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Newman [SMTP:Chris.Newman@innosoft.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 23, 1998 11:27 AM > To: iesg@ietf.org > Cc: w3c-dist-auth@w3.org > Subject: [Spam?] Re: Last Call: Extensions for Distributed Authoring and > Versioning on the World Wide Web -- WEBDAV to Proposed Standard > > I believe this should not be published as an RFC until the "text/xml" > media type is registered with IANA according to the procedures in RFC > 2048, section 2.1.1. > > The is more than a simple procedural complaint because the security > considerations for text/xml need to be documented and the XML > specification is silent on the issue of security. > > I have not reviewed the WEBDAV specification for other issues, but felt it > was important to raise this issue sooner rather than later so it causes > minimal delay. > > [Note: I'm including w3c-dist-auth@w3.org, with the hope that someone > there can adopt this as an action item.
