Hello Aaron, dear RDF Core WG,
On ietf-types@iana.org and some related list, we were just looking
at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/#sec-MediaType which containes
some instances of text like this:
Same as ... of application/xml as specified in RFC 3023[XML-MT]
or the most recent specification that supercedes it.
There seemed to be general agreement that a moving target is
not a good idea.
Josef Reagle told us that he got that text from:
http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/rdf-mediatype.html
I wanted to tell you that you may want to fix this.
Regards, Martin.
