Hello Björn, all,<br><br>below is a submission with the new template. I tried to implement your comments (and now with an extended "published specification" section. Please have a look.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Felix<br>
<br><br>-----------------------------<br>To: <a href="mailto:ietf-types@iana.org" target="_blank">ietf-types@iana.org</a><br>Subject:
Registration of media type application/its+xml<br><br>Type name:
application<br><br>Subtype name: its+xml<br>
<br>Required parameters: none<br><br>Optional parameters: charset <br>This
parameter has identical semantics to the charset parameter of the
"application/xml" media type as specified in IETF RFC 3023.<br><br>Encoding
considerations: Identical to those of "application/xml" as described in
IETF RFC 3023, section 3.2, as applied to an ITS document.<br>
<br>Security considerations: An ITS 1.0 document may cause arbitrary
URIs or IRIs to be dereferenced, via the @xlink:href attribute at the
its:rules element. Therefore, the security issues of [RFC3987] Section 8
should be considered. In addition, the contents of resources identified
by file: URIs can in some cases be accessed, processed and returned as
results. An implementation of ITS global rules requires the support of
XPath 1.0 or its successor. Hence, processing of global rules might
encompass dereferencing of URIs or IRIs during computation of XPath
expressions. Arbitrary recursion is possible, as is arbitrarily large
memory usage, and implementations may place limits on CPU and memory
usage, as well as restricting access to system-defined functions. ITS
1.0 permits extensions. Hence it is possible that application/its+xml
may describe content that has security implications beyond those
described here.<br>
<br>Interoperability considerations: There are no known interoperability
issues.<br><br>Published specification: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-its-20070403/" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-its-20070403/</a><br>Any
XML document containing ITS 1.0 "its:rules" elements <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/its/#selection-global" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/TR/its/#selection-global</a>
can be labeled with application/its+xml. <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/its/EX-link-external-rules-2.xml" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/TR/its/EX-link-external-rules-2.xml</a>
Provides an example of a document linking to a file with ITS 1.0
"rules". The link target is at <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/its/EX-link-external-rules-1.xml" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/TR/its/EX-link-external-rules-1.xml</a>
. There is no need that the link target has "its:rules" as a root
element. The processing semantics is that rules are gathered in document
order.<br>
<br>Applications that use this media type: This new media type is being
registered to allow for deployment of ITS 1.0 on the World Wide Web.,
e.g. by localization tools. <br><br>Additional information: <br>
