If we are to have MIME types for XSD-defined primitive types, then why not for user-defined types? And if we handle simple types, doesn't it make sense to handle complex types too? But this surely demands that types are identified by URIs rather than overloading the MIME registry. Apart from anything else, the processes used to register MIME types don't seem to be geared up to handle the kind of volume this would generate. It seems eminently logical that there should be some kind of relationship between types as schema components and MIME types, but this proposal seems to nibble at the edges of what needs to be done to make that happen. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
