Hi all,
I noticed that the MIME registration tree has an entry for
'text/tab-separated-values' but for some reason doesn't have any
registration for 'text/comma-separated-values' or 'text/csv. I have been
reviewing some of the stuff out there and so far have seen the following
being used:
application/csv
text/csv
text/comma-separated-values
text/x-csv
I was wondering if there would be any value to formally register two of
the CSV types being used from the text tree (text/csv and
text/comma-separated-values). I put together a small draft which hasn't
posted to the ID repository yet. A copy should be available here:
