RE: Request for approval/registration of application/xenc+xml

Hello Scott,

Sorry for the delay with this email. I had to do some serious
archeology for my answer.

First, just a question of terminology:
In our side of the process, at
http://www.w3.org/2002/06/registering-mediatype.html#Planned,
it just says "Send an email to the mailing
list ietf-types@iana.org asking for comments on the Media Type section
of your specification". Is that enough, or should we use the term
"request for review" more explicitly there?

Second, my understanding is that the current version of our side
of this process at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xmlenc-core-20021210/#sec-MediaType
is indeed based on the earlier draft-reagle-xenc-mediatype, and
incorporates the comment received on ietf-types. There was indeed
an I-D, but it was just a very short one, essentially just containing
a reference to the registration information already in the spec
itself. See for example
http://www.imc.org/ietf-xml-mime/mail-archive/msg00821.html
For whatever it's worth, strangely enough this email is not archived at
http://eikenes.alvestrand.no/pipermail/ietf-types/2002-August/author.html.
I remember asking Harald about this, he suspected it might have to
do with only mails from subscribers in the list
being archived. (see separately forwarded mail)

So my understanding is that as far as I was able to reconstruct
what happened, this Media Type proposal was indeed sufficiently
reviewed on ietf-types@iana.org. Please tell us if you think
otherwise, and what the next steps should be in this case.

Regards,    Martin.
