Hello, thanks for registering your media type to the IANA. Let's hope it goes smoothly. Here are my comments. Le Sat, Jul 31, 2021 at 02:15:53PM -0400, Liam R. E. Quin a écrit : > # Type Name > > image This invites browsers receiving an XCF file to display its contents instead of asking the user whether to download the file. But since the current media type is `image/x-xcf` I assume that it is your intent. If not, `application` will be a better choice. > # Subtype Name > > Standard Tree (no prefix) > xcf If the XCF format is only driven by the GIMP project, then the vendor tree is probably what the IANA expects. For instance, the media type of Debian packages is application/vnd.debian.binary-package. > # Published specification > > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/raw/master/devel-docs/xcf.txt > > **Note**: RFC 6838 §4.10 says: "Media types registered in the standards > tree by the IETF itself MUST be published as RFCs.

I also think that the vendor tree is fine. There is no loss of functionality being in the vendor tree. > # Restrictions on Usage > > The XCF format description is currently distributed under the > GNU Public License version 2 or later. GIMP is also part of the GNU > project and distributed under a GNU license. I think that this point doe not need to be mentionned. Contents in this field in other registrations appear to be technical only. > ## Deprecated alias names for this type Maybe image/x-xcf ?
