Thanks for the clarifications, but ... On 2/3/06, Dan Connolly <connolly@w3.org> wrote: > Well, there need only be one registered media type that works this > way. How can that be? The TAG has already said[1] that new formats should get new media types, right? How would this media type change that? Are you perhaps thinking that the URI in the parameter could be used to dispatch applications? If so, I don't think that's workable as virtually all (AFAICT) software that dispatches off media types, does it off the media type name independent of the value of any parameters.
