Re: ISSUE-2: What is the mime type of a media fragment? What is its relation with its parent resource?

Raphaël,

Seems the problem is solve for now. I guess I have to wait and see what [2]
offers ;) 

My offer to take care of the administrative side of the TC is still valid.
 
Cheers,
      Michael
