Given that we have no mechanism for resolving either of these, I don't see any need to use the "specification" branch. It would probably only serve to confuse things. > The TC further agreed to specify MIME types for Open Office documents. > Our proposal is to use the following MIME types: > > application/vnd.oasis.openoffice.<subtype> > > (respectively application/x-vnd.oasis.openoffice.<subtype> until the > registration of the MIME types has been accepted), where subtype is one > of "text", "spreadsheet", "presentation", "drawing" or "chart", > dependent of the prefered type of application that should be used to > edit the document.

I would guess that the application should be submitted by OASIS, but as you know a lot more about this than I perhaps you should put the application together for me to send in, just as Norm did for the RFC 3121. -Karl > > Thanks in advance for answering our questions. > > Best regards > > Michael > > > > > -- ================================================================= Karl F.
