Fw: An I-D for text/xml, application/xml, etc.

[MURATA Makoto <murata@hokkaido.email.ne.jp>]

Among other changes, this I-D deprecates text/xml, 
but recommends application/xml.

There is a mailing list specifically for discussing RFC 3023 and 
its successor. It is ietf-xml-mime.imc.org. 
(http://www.imc.org/ietf-xml-mime/index.html).

Cheers,

Makoto

Based on the discussions in this mailing list and W3C TAG, an 
I-D for XML media types has been created.  Major changes from 
RFC 3023 are as follows:

   First, text/xml and text/xml-external-parsed-entity are deprecated.
   Second, XPointer ([XPointerFramework] and [XPointerElement]) has been
   added as fragment identifiers for "application/xml".  Third, [XBase]
   has been added as a mechanism for specifying base URIs.  Fourth, many
   references are updated.
