https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6684 --- Comment #40 from Jonathan Kingston <jonathan@britto.co> 2012-06-07 13:07:20 UTC --- (In reply to comment #39) > *** Bug 17436 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** After reading more into this it seems that back in 1993 Tim Berners Lee had a similar stance on application/html: http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/ietf-822/1993-10/msg00093.html I think it seems pretty unclear on the stance on what "application" actually means, I see its benefit however the inconsistency between: text/html, application/xml, text/css and application/javascript seems to muddy the water a little. The benefit of using application is clear that a user agent could filer out application scripts at a type level rather than subtype would be more efficient. Many other benefits I am guessing could be gained from using the application type however the ambiguity of which type the media is: http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/index.html Makes it pretty useless whichever the type is and perhaps subtype should just be used. Until this is resolved I feel now it is a non issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
