[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: MIME namespace...
In looking back through the xml-dev archives I see alot of threads that have touched on the area of using MIME like tags/attributes for handling binary content. Most of the discussion was relative to inlining binary content rather than linking. One distinction between most of these threads and this one was that I propose that we use the mime nomenclature and semantics as directly as possible (via the mime namespace) rather than mimicing them in xml via things like xml:content-type and xml:packing. The two mime names that are needed for inline binary entities are "mime:Content-type" and "mime:Content-transfer-encoding". The latter can only use the "base64" encoding for binary data as "7bit" and "8bit" clash with XML. If we can agree on a URI for the mime namespace, we could potentially start merrily transferring binary content inline in our XML documents. OK, so I'm a naive wild-eyed optimist :-). ~gabe xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
