Tim, Though they have certainly served us well, the "brutally simple semantics" as you describe them, are proving in a sense inadequate for media-type registrations that have been proposed recently. This is plain for anyone who has been at the mediaman meetings in the last couple of years and have seen the painful discussion on the suffixes draft. Something is gotta give, unless we find another approach (mine is but one possible idea). I am open to suggestions.

Media types are one of the nice things about the Web, and I suspect the brutally simple semantics have generally encouraged good design. -T > >
