    Details

    • Type: Bug
    • Status: New
    • Priority: Major
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Affects Version/s: DocBook 5.1
    • Fix Version/s: None
    • Component/s: Public reviews
    • Labels:
      None
    • Environment:

      Normative

    • Proposal:
      Hide

      Mark Appendix A as normative or non-normative and decide what it is supposed to be doing.

      I think this is the latest guidance on that issue, http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml

      but I think OASIS may have some new processes as well. Check with Robin Cover.

      Description

      It isn't clear if Appendix A. The DocBook Media Type is normative or non-normative.

      Further, the first line reads:

      "This appendix registers a new MIME media type, “application/docbook+xml”."

      Actually, no, Appendix A cannot register a MIME media type. It could report the registration of a MIME media type but in and of itself, it isn't the registration of a new MIME media type.
