A quick out-of-context reply (I've not read the proposal yet). The feeling among MIME folks is that text/... should be used only when the information is generally suitable for presentation to a human. For example, it is felt that text/html was a mistake (should have been application/html) because most HTML is really not readable to most people. So application/rdf+xml seems fine (if a new MIME type is required). #g ------------ Graham Klyne GK@NineByNine.org
