            Bug ID: 26550
           Summary: Definition of "valid MIME type" still refers to RFC
                    2616
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: CR HTML5 spec
          Assignee: robin@w3.org
          Reporter: sharris40@uco.edu
        QA Contact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org

Section 2.1.1 "Resources" states:

A string is a valid MIME type if it matches the media-type rule defined in
section 3.7 "Media Types" of RFC 2616.
...
A string is a valid MIME type with no parameters if it matches the media-type
rule defined in section 3.7 "Media Types" of RFC 2616

However, RFC 2616 is obsolete and is no longer listed as a normative reference.
It should probably be changed to refer to section 3.1.1 "Processing
Representation Data" of RFC 7231.
