Since one of the primary purposes of Content-Type: is to instruct a receiving program (email client, Web browser, or what have you) on the proper application to deploy in order to interpret the MIME entity, it seems to me that it would be useful to standardize a "type" parameter with application/xml and text/xml. Legal values would be "document", "entity" (including both external parsed entities and external parameter entities), and "dtd". Typically, "documents" would be passed to an XML browser, whereas "entity"s and "dtd"s would be simply stored; alternatively, "dtd"s could be passed to a DTD viewer. Passing "entity" or "dtd" MIME entities to an XML browser would or could produce an unwanted parsing error from the browser. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c... You tollerday donsk?
