Request for MIME media type Application/Standards Tree

[Adriano.Santoni]

Bjoern,

thank you for your comments.

I realized that - according to RFC 4288 - I have to write another RFC 
for this registration, because the already published specification (RFC 
5544) was lacking the media type registration. So I am going to post an 
I-D soon.

I agree with all of your remarks, but I am not sure what you mean by the 
following one:

TimeStampedData-using applications are (normally, but not necessarily) 
digital signature applications, either interactive or unattended. To the 
extent that this media type is concerned, the only thing they have in 
common is the need to generate and/or update and/or verify 
TimeStampedData envelopes. In addition to that, the file association 
(based on the registered file extension) would allow desktop managers 
(under Windows, Linux, ecc) to automatically open such files with the 
proper application by just double-clicking on the icon. In addition to 
that, a media type would allow those envelopes to be exchanged via HTTP 
and e-email messages in a way that would allow browsers and email client 
to "know" how to deal with such content.

So, what you suggest me to write in reply to "Applications which use 
this media:" ?

Adriano
