Hi Larry, nice summary of the chain of delegated authorities in the history of text/html and application/xhtml+xml.

While we're here (and in case you're not aware of it), W3C also has a process to request approval of media types from the IESG [1]. Given that text/html and application/xhtml+xml are both RFCs, I'm not quite sure if W3C has the option of asking that the media types link directly to the W3C Recommendations in the future but we can ask the IESG if the time comes to do something about the RFCs. > [...] normative overlap between different W3C committees (WebAPPS vs. > HTML, HTML vs XHTML) is a problem. And that's the case we're in. Philippe [1] http://www.w3.org/2002/06/registering-mediatype.html
