Re: Request for review of standards tree registration request for OpenXPS

Thanks, Paul!  I appreciate the detailed feedback!

I propose to add the following to the "Additional Information" section of the template:

"To ensure interoperability, the clipboard format must be a complete OpenXPS file with .oxps extension."

Thanks!
Brian

Sure. Only well formed data here (and well formedness is more than XML's).

understand it would work in MathML or SVG.  The resource tree in OpenXPS is integral to its functionality.

But that is clear.
It doesn't remove the usefulness of such a thing.

Re: Request for review of standards tree registration request for OpenXPS

Brian,

my suggestion was to add something similar to the following in the Additional Information section:

    Macintosh Universal Type Identifier code:
        org.ecma.xps conforms to com.pkware.zip-archive
    Windows Clipboard Name:
        "OpenXPS"

This allows putting or expecting OpenXPS in the clipboard or a drag-and-drop, when this comes, to safely
put and select by name.

I do not think that stating that it must be a complete OpenXPS file nor anything wrt its name is useful. 
(the first is natural, the second is not applicable since clipboards don't have filenames that are visible).

Re: Mime Type Reg for "application/epub+zip"

Dear colleagues,

In 2007, IDPF (http://www.idpf.org/) submitted a request to register a
standard-tree media type "application/epub+zip" for EPUB documents. 
There were no discussions or registrations, however.  The I-D 
at that time, namely http://www.idpf.org/draft-idpf-mime-ocf-01.txt, has
already expired.

Since then, things have changed.  EPUB has become a very important 
e-book format, and is very widely used by Apple, Adobe, Sony, Barns & Noble, 
among others.  EPUB implementations appear to use "application/epub+zip".
The IDPF EPUB WG is actively designing the next version of EPUB, namely
EPUB3, and has committed to finish it in May, 2011.

Standardization of EPUB at ISO, IEC, or JTC1 is also being discussed 
at ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34/AHG4 (EPUB).    IDPF is involved.

Moreover, the EPUB WG of IDPF is currently talking about introducing
fragment identifiers for EPUB3.   A proposal is available at
http://code.google.com/p/epub-revision/wiki/ImplementationProposalFragmentIdentifier

For EPUB to be a good citizen of Internet, I think that registration 
of application/epub+zip is a necessary step.  I am wondering how we 
should go forward.  Here are some possibilities I can think of.

1) Create an IDPF EPUB3 spec,  describe everything about this media 
type (including possible frag. identifiers), and request for the
approval of IESG.

2) Create an ISO or IEC or JTC1 EPUB specification (possible EPUB2),

Well, as far as ietf-types review is concerned, if a type is actually
used, then it should be registered, the registration should not clash
with conflicting usage (like, if the type in question is also used for
something else) and the registration information should meet the re-
quirements of RFC 4288 and dependencies. From that perspective, the
options above seem relatively equal. Your third option seems to have
the best chances to produce results quickly though.

Paul,

Thanks again for the feedback.  I am making the changes to the template.  I am including, then, the final
template in this reply.  If there are no other issues, then I will submit it for acceptance by the end of this week.

Thanks for all your help!  It is much appreciated!
