Re: [media-types] Macintosh file type code

[Paul Libbrecht <[e-mail]>]

This goes along the proposal I had to add UTI and Windows clipboard flavour names within the template. I remember having been too late "last time".

I haven’t heard of Apple using UTI outside clipboards though.
Have you found such Chris?

I believe that many media types can be sensibly exchanged over a clipboard so that it makes sense to insert a section on windows-clipboard-flavor and apple-UTI.

Ned, how is the process to file such a change fo the template?

thanks in advance.

Paul
