Abstract:
This specification standardizes three media types -- application/xml,
application/xml-external-parsed-entity, and application/xml-dtd --
for use in exchanging network entities that are related to the
Extensible Markup Language (XML) while defining text/xml and text/
xml-external-parsed-entity as aliases for the respective application/
types. This specification also standardizes a convention (using the
suffix '+xml') for naming media types outside of these five types
when those media types represent XML MIME entities. XML MIME
entities are currently exchanged via the HyperText Transfer Protocol
on the World Wide Web, are an integral part of the WebDAV protocol
for remote web authoring, and are expected to have utility in many
domains.
Major differences from [RFC3023] are alignment of charset handling
for text/xml and text/xml-external-parsed-entity with application/
xml, the addition of XPointer and XML Base as fragment identifiers
and base URIs, respectively, mention of the XPointer Registry, and
updating of many references.
