           Summary: Media-type registrations should include clipboard
                    flavor names
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

As suggested on the IETF-types mailing-list, I would like to request that the
working group includes two extra fields in the xx section of almost each of the
media-types registrations' appendices:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-types/current/msg01715.html

- a Windows Clipboard Flavor Name (probable link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms649013.aspx)
- Macintosh Uniform Type Identifier (see
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/understanding_utis/)

This way platforms, which mostly already define these types, would do so based
on an open standard.

Previous examples of doing such include the MathML and the SVG specifications.
