Hi all,

As a Web Developer, it's very nice to have the byte stream format
registry http://www.w3.org/2013/12/byte-stream-format-registry/ ,
which defines MIME types and other useful information.

The first thing I'm going to do when loading segments for media
resources is to load an initialization segment. This usually happens
with an XHR and a byte range.

Would it be possible to make a recommendation for each one of the
registered byte stream formats of how large a byte range one should
request to ascertain retrieving the Initialization Segment for
different formats? That would be really useful to developers.

Cheers,
Silvia.
