Re: [ietf-types] Registration Of media types application/cdmi-*

[Keith Moore <[e-mail]>]

1. You claim to be registering application/cdmi-* but the actual subtype names in the individual templates don't start with "cdmi-".  Please add them.  I think it would be bad if application/capability, application/domain, etc. were registered.

2. Re: Encoding considerations.  Normally this would be some recommendation about whether to use base64, quoted-printable, or whatever, when transporting objects of this type over MIME email.  Your type applications don't say anything about that.  Your applications supply advice about using a charset parameter, but your proposed types don't even define a charset parameter.    Parameters defined for one type (say text/plain) do not automatically exist for other types.

I'm just guessing, but perhaps you'd like to say that since objects of type application/cdmi-* consist of utf-8 text, base64 encoding is appropriate when transporting such objects over email.  

3. Security considerations.  IANA probably knows enough to supply the missing detail, but just in case they miss it :   Type registrations are intended to be standalone.  "See Section 7" begs the question "of what?"
