Brian,
The adoption of the "application/rdf+xml" MIME type makes sense for general
RDF, just as "text/xml" makes sense for general XML.
There have been later recommendations that "+xml" be appended to MIME types
for specific applications of XML (as evident in the new RDF MIME type above
when RDF is serialized as XML). Has there been any thought of making a
similar recommendation ("application/...+rdf+xml") for specific
applications of RDF? For instance, this would
allow "application/pics+rdf+xml", "application/xpackage+rdf+xml",
and "application/annotea+rdf+xml".
Cheers,
Garret
