This proposed media type registration was previously sent to
ietf-types at iana.org on 04-Oct-2004:
http://eikenes.alvestrand.no/pipermail/ietf-types/2004-October/000438.html
The only comment received (which was sent privately) was a suggested
change to the contact information to read:
[[
Person & email address to contact for further information:
World Wide Web Consortium <web-human at w3.org>
]]
The version below reflects the above-mentioned change.
----------------------------------------------------------
The proposed registration below is for a media type
"application/wsdl+xml" for use with WSDL 2.0 documents.
The registration will be requested on behalf
of the W3C Web Services Description Working Group.
WSDL 2.0 documents are used to describe Web services.
The specification of the WSDL 2.0 language itself
is available at http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl20 .
This media type definition appears in
http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl20#ietf-draft , which will
be updated as necessary. (The version below is the most
recent.)
This proposed registration is for community review and
will be submitted to the IESG for review, approval, and
registration with IANA at a later stage.
The Last Call period for WSDL 2.0 ends 4 October 2004.
However, because of this late notification, the deadline
for comments on the media type registration has been
extended to 18 October 2004.

There are no known interoperability issues.
