In general, this makes sense. Reading your proposal quickly, I can see two complications: One is that in many current usages, haptic data is incorporated into the same media stream as other media, making it questionable whether haptic data would be in a stream that could be labeled as such. I notice that combined video/audio seems to be common, so this problem is probably already being solved in that case. Another is that it seems like few of these media formats are non-secret. There are registrations of media formats that are patent-encumbered, but the specifics of those formats can be documented. What would really encourage support for a haptics data type is one or more open standards. I would probably be informative to prepare draft IANA registrations of the haptics type and two or three subtypes and see how writing up the registrations works out in practice. Dale
