Brian The details of whether one branch of the MIME tree or another is best suited for the application is definitely more suitable for the RAI area. The fact that this problem is not discussed in the RFC and the historic designation is misleading, is a good subject for this list. I personally think something needs to be done, such as publishing a bis version with informational designation and an IESG note about the advisability of using the audio MIME type.

They certainly know more about it than I do. Brian _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
