-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Further to our discussion of the HTML 5 draft approach to updating the text/html media type registration, the TAG today agreed to request the change below. Your ISSUE-53 (note that we, perhaps mistakenly, had previously suggested this would relate to HTML ISSUE 4) is relevant. In section 12.1 [1] Add *Introduction and background* HTML has been in use in the World Wide Web information infrastructure since 1990, and specified in various informal documents. The text/html media type was first officially defined by the IETF HTML working group in 1995 in [HTML20]. Subsequent standardization work at the W3C relevant to this media type was published in [HTML32], [HTML40] and [HTML401]. This registration updates [RFC2854] by identifying this specification as the relevant specification, without ruling out continued use of the text/html media type for older documents. and replace *Interoperability considerations:* Rules for processing both conforming and non-conforming content are defined in this specification. *Published specification:* This document is the relevant specification. Labeling a resource with the text/html type asserts that the resource is an HTML document using the HTML syntax. with *Interoperability considerations:* This specification defines rules for processing not only conforming also non-conforming documents, including those which conform to the early specifications listed above. *Published specification:* This document is the relevant specification. Labeling a document with the text/html type asserts that the document is a member of the HTML family, as defined by this specification or those listed above [ref Introduction and background], and licenses its interpretation according to this specification. ht, on behalf of the TAG [1] http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/iana.html#text-html - -- Henry S.
