Media Type Registration request for POWDER and POWDER-S

To whom it may concern,

This e-mail is sent in line with "How to Register an Internet Media Type 
for a W3C Spec" [1] and follows an earlier attempt to follow the IANA 
process (see 2, 3).

Having taken advice [4], the W3C POWDER Working Group requests that 
consideration be given to registering two Media types for POWDER and 
POWDER-S documents.

POWDER: application/powder+xml
==============================

POWDER is a constrained dialect of XML that transports RDF properties 
and objects that can be associated with multiple subjects. The media 
type details are included in Appendix B of POWDER: Description Resources 
[5] which has just completed its (second) Last Call period. The version 
cited here includes changes made in response to last call comments and 
is not yet published, however, it is the one (or very close to the one) 
the working group will present as the Proposed Recommendation. It is 
anticipated that this happen within the next 2 weeks. The relevant 
section of the Description Resources document is as follows:

Appendix B: POWDER Internet Media Type and Macintosh File Type

The following Media Type has been submitted to the IESG for review, 
approval, and registration with IANA
