individual emails, with clear subject lines, and Cc'd to the issue  
originator when possible. Apologies for the spam. If there are no  
objections, I will close this issue on 2009-09-03.

ISSUE-53: mediatypereg - Need to update media type registrations
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/53

This issue points out that the media type registrations for text/html  
and application/xhtml+xml need to be updated. My understanding of the  
agreement between the IETF and W3C is as follows: at Last Call time,  
we should warn the IETF that we plan to update the media type  
registration and provide them with the text for a provisional  
registration, and when the spec becomes a REC, the registration  
becomes official, based on text in the W3C spec. The spec now includes  
provisional registrations for text/html, application/xhtml+xml, and  
other content types defined by the spec:

Therefore, I believe our responsibility to IANA for updating media  
type registrations is fulfilled. Thus, this issue should be closed.

Regards,
Maciej
