Why not have 'feature' registration work the same way as 'media type' registration in IANA, rather than inventing another mechanism? See, for example, draft-ietf-822ext-mime-reg-04.txt Almost all of the consideration for media type registration apply to feature registration; media type registration has been an enormous tarpit in the past, and we should not exacerbate the problem by ignoring history. Some of the features listed are media type specific (html tables); others are independent of media type and cut across those boundaries (color, size). Shouldn't those be sorted out? Regards, Larry
