The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Media Type Registrations for Downloadable Sounds for MIDI ' <draft-westerlund-mime-dls-01.txt> as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Ted Hardie. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-westerlund-mime-dls-01.txt Technical Summary The present document seeks to register a media type for Downloadable Sounds (DLS). The DLS format is used to define instruments for widely used wavetable synthesizers. The media type defined here is needed to correctly identify DLS files when they are served over HTTP, included in multi-part documents, or used in other places where media types are used. Working Group Summary This is an individual submission. It was reviewed by the IETF types list and changes were made in response to the feedback received. Protocol Quality The document was reviewed for the IESG by Ted Hardie. The underlying standards for DLS standards are maintained and defined by two organizations, the MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA) and the Association of the Musical Electronics Industry (AMEI). Note to RFC Editor Section 2, third paragraph:: OLD: For DLS content containing conditional chunks it is stressed that the chunk in question is optional, that is to say a parser does not have to execute the chunk. NEW: A key point is that conditional chunks are optional, that is to say a parser does not have to execute a conditional chunk. Section 3.1: OLD: Security considerations: see the security considerations in section 3 of RFC XXXX. NEW: Security considerations: see the security considerations in section 2 of RFC XXXX. OLD: Interoperability considerations: This media type is for the consumption by a MIDI player NEW: Interoperability considerations: This media type is for consumption by a MIDI player Section 4: OLD: The references to RFC XXXX in the media type registration need to be replaced with the actual RFC number when it is issued. NEW: The references to RFC XXXX in the media type registration need to be replaced with the actual RFC number this document receives when it is issued. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
