Larry said: > The proposal was to register it as application/mspowerpoint. That was one of them. Jill Foster tried to register this type for about a year, then gave up at the sheer intransigence of the ietf-types list denziens. It is almost impossible to register a new type. > I'd really like it if someone (w3c) would start registering all of the > types that seem to be floating around on the web. I'd like it if W3C started their own registry which really did have a two week turnaround (and did not have an 90% reject rate on applications). There seems general agreement that the registration process is broken. I have said so on the ietf-types list, as has Ned Freed. Harald Alvestrand agrees that there are major problems. -- Chris Lilley, Technical Author and JISC representative to W3C +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Manchester and North Training & Education Centre ( MAN T&EC ) | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Computer Graphics Unit, Email: Chris.Lilley@mcc.ac.uk | | Manchester Computing Centre, Voice: +44 161 275 6045 | | Oxford Road, Manchester, UK.
