As usual, a disposition of comments against the previous draft is
available at

  http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/10/3023bis/06-comments.html

and an author's diff is at

  http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/10/3023bis/draft-ietf-appsawg-xml-mediatypes-07_diff.html

This draft has few changes from version 6, almost all as a result of a
review by Larry Masinter, for which thanks.

The only change even close to substantive is a summary RECOMMENDATION
near the beginning of section 3, Encoding Considerations, which says

  The use of UTF-8, without a BOM, is RECOMMENDED for all XML MIME entities.

See the 06-comments document for a summary of the discussion about
this.

The level of comments on this draft has shifted from substantive to
rhetorical/editorial, and I think it's now pretty much fully-baked.
I'd very much welcome some endorsements of its readiness, so that we
can move it up and out of here.
