Thanks for the information, Mary. Once the TC has reviewed  and approved
the proposal for filing, we will advise Jamie and follow the due process.

Hi Erik,

  Just a small note – all RFC filings must go through the OASIS staff
liaison (Jamie Clark). Contact information is always to OASIS rather than
individual TC members. When this is all set and the TC is ready, please
send to Jamie and he will ensure that proper steps are taken to register
the MIME type.

Regards,

Mary

Subject: [dita] MIME type for DITA - RFC



Esteemed TC:

I've attached (or appended depending on the whims of the mail agents) a
draft RFC of a MIME type for DITA based on Jeff's approach as discussed in
previous meetings and this note:
      http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00095.html

Jeff, I've taken the liberty of listing you as one of the contacts for more
information.

While an RFC (Request For Comment) is not strictly required from a
standards body such as an OASIS TC, it is encouraged according to the
defined process:
      http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4289.txt.

For the current list of accepted XML MIME types, see the application/*+xml
entries:
      http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/
