Originally sent to the WHATWG list. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gordon P. Hemsley <gphemsley@gmail.com> Date: Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 10:28 AM Subject: [mimesniff] Review requested on MIME Sniffing Standard To: whatwg List <whatwg@whatwg.org> Hey all, As you might have heard, I have taken over editorship of the MIME Sniffing Standard from Adam Barth. As a first step in my editorship, I have taken the opportunity to rewrite the document in a more procedural and modular way (IMO). The content and meaning itself is not supposed to have changed, and I need your help to verify that that is the case: http://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/ In addition, this now means that I am open to hearing your suggestions about how to improve the document beyond its current (i.e. former) semantics. You can file bugs here: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/enter_bug.cgi?product=WHATWG&component=MIME As this document was originally an IETF document, there are also old issues here: http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/websec/trac/query?component=mime-sniff It's not clear to me which of those remain outstanding on the current version of the document, and it would be helpful to me if individuals with a vested interest in them could migrate them to Bugzilla (with updated descriptions that reflect the current state of the document). This will ensure that I address them in a timely manner. Also, it would be helpful if you could mark them as blocking the general bug here: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19746 And if you want to follow the commits as they happen, you can follow @mimesniff on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mimesniff Thanks!
