Fwd: Media Types in 3GPP Timed text draft (was: RE: [AVT] RTP and Media Types)

I'm forwarding this question to the IETF-types list since I'm not sure 
we have the experience to decide this in the AVT working grou. The 
question is about draft-ietf-avt-rtp-3gpp-timed-text-04.txt: is it 
appropriate to register the format under the "video" or "text" 
top-level type?

RE: Media Types in 3GPP Timed text draft (was: RE: [AVT] RTP and Media Types)

How about registering it in the "application" tree, under "vnd.3gpp"?
You will already find some 3GPP registrations there.

See for instance:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/

Best regards,

Olivier

Re: Media Types in 3GPP Timed text draft (was: RE: [AVT] RTP and Media Types)

[Please keep the AVT list as a cc, so the authors of the draft get a 
copy]

The aim here is to register the media type for use in RTP sessions, 
which are negotiated using SIP. Registering it under "application" or 
"vnd.3gpp" would complicate the signalling, and it would be preferable 
from our point of view to register this under "text" or "video" (as has 
been done with other RTP payload formats).

That said, I'm not sure how the vnd tree works, so there may be a good 
reason to register it there, and then work out how to change SIP and/or 
SDP to make use of it.

Re: Media Types in 3GPP Timed text draft (was: RE: [AVT] RTP and Media Types)

Hi,

As the RTP payload format is developed in IETF, rather than 3GPP I think 
the MIME type used to identify that RTP payload format belongs in the 
IETF tree. Especially as the vendor tree implies that the 3GPP has 
control over the registration and any updates, which I don't think is 
appropriate for this payload format.

The question is if 3GPP timed text should be registered in video, text, 
or both. My reasoning behind actually registering in both media types, 
would if one had clear indications that both are appropriate for 
different usages of the RTP payload format.

Cheers

Magnus

draft-hoschka-smil-media-type-12.txt

I think the document should explain why it is that it registers
both application/smil and application/smil+xml with exactly
the same meaning.

I think the answer is likely that this was a mistake, that
application/smil+xml is recommended, but that 'application/smil'
is in use in some parts of the community already, and it was
thought better to register it as a valid alias.
But I'm not sure; I'm not even sure it's a good idea
to do this.  Perhaps we want to separate out 'recommended'
practice (as you would find in an IESG approved document
or a W3C 'Recommendation') from some other kind of registration,
e.g., ask IANA to register 'application/smil' with a notation
"MIME type used for what is officially registered as
application/smil+xml'.

As far as I can tell, [3] has nothing to say about 'application/smil'.

Presumably you mean xhtml+xml, not xhtml+smil.  Is there any

Pre review of 3GPP MIME type for RTP payload format

Hi,

I would like to have a pre registration request review of the below 
propsed MIME type for a RTP payload format. This registration request is 
intended to use the updated registration procedure based on 
specification available from other standards body.

The specification that the registration belongs to can be found in the 
following 3GPP contribution:

http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_sa/WG4_CODEC/TSGS4_32/Docs/S4-040460.zip
Which is the specification delta that included the RTP payload format 
defined within to the following specification:

http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/latest/Rel-6/26_series/26234-600.zip

The registration template for this looks like the following:
------------------------------------------------------------

MIME media type name: audio, video, text, application, image

MIME subtype name: rtp.enc.aescm128

Required parameters:

opt: 	The payload type number of the payload type contained in the
         encrypted payload. An integer value between 0-127.

rate: 	The timestamp rate of this payload type, which shall be the same
         as that of the original payload type. This is an integer value

The slides you quote are my interpretation of the traditional rules for 
media under the "text" top level type. As you know, there has been some 
discussion on relaxing these rules for media types with limited domain 
of applicability. The RTP Payload Format for 3GPP timed text might fall

Hi,

We have detected a copy and paste error of the complete Appendix K in 
the first of the below references, and it has been replaced with the 
following version.

'application' alone makes more sense than registering any
of the rest.
