Peter, I presume your use case is that a client should be able to request a SMIL-basic document via content-negotiation ? This is not the way SMIL basic works. All SMIL 2.0 documents are also SMIL basic documents http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/smil-basic.html#BaseGuideNS-BasicDoc However, SMIL basic user agents interpret only a well-defined subset of the markup that may occur in a SMIL 2.0 docucment (see clause 5. and 7. at http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/smil-basic.html#BaseGuideNS-BasicUserAgent To avoid an unsatisfactory user experience, an author can 1) only use markup defined for SMIL basic http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/smil-basic.html#smilBasicNS-Basic 2) write a "scalable document" that adapts gracefully depending on whether it is played on a SMIL 2.0 or a SMIL basic user agent: http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/smil-basic.html#smilBasicNS-GuideDoc The same approach can be applied to any profile, not just SMIL basic, and there is thus no need to use the MIME type to distinguish between profiles. -Philipp "Peter Stark (ECS)" a écrit : > > How does can it be used to distinguish between full SMIL 2.0 and a profile such as SMIL Basic? > > PS > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Philipp Hoschka [mailto:ph@w3.org] > > Sent: den 21 juni 2001 18:03 > > To: ietf-types@iana.org > > Cc: www-smil@w3.org > > Subject: please review: application/smil MIME type registration > > > > > > We'd like to start the two-week review of > > > > http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hoschka-smil-medi > > a-type-08.txt > > > > describing the registration of the application/smil MIME type for > > SMIL 1.0 and SMIL 2.0. > > > > -Philipp Hoschka, W3C > >
