Vendor-specific MIME type for review

[Tapani Otala]

Hello,

We would like to submit a new vendor-specific MIME type for your  
review. The basic idea is simple, but it did not quite fit in the IANA  
registration form and the recommendation was to post it to this  
mailing list for  review.

MIME media type name: application

MIME subtype name: vnd.adobe.composite-asset

Required parameters: final_type, final_subtype

Optional parameters: none

Description:

This media type denotes a generic composite asset container that contains
multiple sub-assets, each of which has an existing IANA registered text, image
and video media types. The final type is identified by the final_type and
final_subtype parameters.

Sample usage:

application/vnd.adobe.composite-asset; final_type=text, final_subtype=html

Encoding considerations: binary

This media type may require encoding on transports not capable of  
handling binary.

Security considerations:

This media type contains content that could be considered 'active'  
or 'executable'. However, it does not expand upon the existing  
security considerations already applicable to those media types.

Published specification:

This media type references existing IANA registered MIME types, for  
which there are existing specifications.

Applications which use this media:

Adobe Photoshop.com Web Service (http://www.photoshop.com) and its  
client applications.

Person to contact for further information:

Tapani Otala (otala at adobe.com)

Intended usage: Limited Use

The use of this media type is limited to the Photoshop.com web service  
and its client applications.


Sincerely,

Tapani Otala
