Re: media type registration (Re: Draft minutes from 16 August 2011)

Thomas, all

I think it is a very confusing policy to embed a registration document within another document as the references for the two become intermixed and formatting becomes that of the enclosing document etc

That said, the XML Encryption 1.1 media type section contains many references that are now listed in the references of the enclosing document. I think we should keep it that way to simplify maintenance of references (also that is where you'd expect to find document references as a reader).

There are also a number of references to XML Encryption 1.1, the enclosing document.

Putting each inline and attempting to maintain it would be a mistake.

Thus I think we should go with another approach mentioned on the call today, and change each reference in this section to XML Encryption 1.1 to be the text
"XMLENC-CORE1 (this document)" instead of [XMLENC-CORE1]. This should be clear within the context of the enclosing document and similar to the reference that would be used in a separate media type submission request. No corresponding reference will be included in the list of references.

I note we already have an internal link for Security Considerations, so we've already started down this path.

Any disagreement to this approach, or other suggestion?  Please indicate agreement so we can make this change.

Thanks
