[Arcmedia] New Non-WG Mailing List: Arcmedia -- Discussion of creating a new top-level media type, "archive", for archive bundles.

A new IETF non-working group email list has been created.

List address: arcmedia@ietf.org
Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/arcmedia/
To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/arcmedia

Purpose:

Discuss the creation of a top-level media type for file archives: 
formats that package files and file metadata into a single data 
stream. Common semantics apply to all archive formats in ways that are 
very similar to multipart and message top-level types. At the highest 
level, an Internet-connected application ought to be able to identify 
that a particular piece of content is of this type (as opposed to the 
opaque application type), so it can make decisions about the content 
that are unique to archives.
