It's not ideal, but it's not clear that there's a better option in this case, given the nature of the issue that was raised; these changes are motivated by discussion of exactly that question, on 8 July: [[[ [DaveO] hmm.. seeming less and less like an architectural principle and more like w3c process issue. [Ian] IJ: The text must be in spec, but isn't required to be registered. DC: Area directors said "Don't want to put in the registry until it goes to Rec." They prefer to just have internet draft published every 6 months. They would rather your type not be in registry but not in internet draft index. CL: What can we point to when people tell us we are doing it wrong? TB: I agree with DO's point that this is a process issue. Let's rewrite finding to say that registration process must proceed in parallel with w3c process, and documents must be readily available from w3c specs. DC: Water down more: Registration information is relevant and needs to be reviewed along with everything else in your spec. IJ: Please note current best practice as we understand it. TB: if we write a strong arch principle saying "You have to get this work done" then that is enough for the Director to stand on. PC: I think we need a cookbook for chairs on what to do.DO: I'd rather us spend more time on arch principles and our issues list. [TBray] Particularly given that the TAG has substantial consensus... it's irritating that we have to keep investing time on this. If we want a cookbook, how do we get it? [Ian] DC: I agree that this is process, but who do we hand this to? PC: Our finding should say "here lie alligators" if uncertain process. Action PC: Propose alternative wording for finding. ]]] -- http://www.w3.org/2002/07/08-tag-summary#media-types -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
