Register media type for OpenDocument 1.3 with IANA

      Type: Task
      Components: IANA media type registration
      Environment: OASIS OpenDocument 1.3

      Description:
      As per issue https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-2580
      the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
      decided to add a new MIME type in OpenDocument 1.3, which is an OASIS
      standard since 2021.

      Thus the media type
      "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-master-template" needs to be
      registered with IANA.

      There are comments in the issue about a communication in 2015 between 2
      former TC chairs and Robin Cover from OASIS regarding this, but nobody
      currently with the TC knows what became of that; so this proposal was
      drafted by liberal application of Copy and Paste.

      Proposal:

          Type name: application

          Subtype name: vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-master-template

          Required parameters: N/A

          Optional parameters: N/A

          Encoding considerations: binary

          Security considerations:
      Documents may contain script programs which are able to perform various
      actions on behalf of the user. Applications should make the user aware of
      this fact when opening a document of unknown/not-trusted origin.
      Documents stored in the OpenDocument format may embed external objects
      and/or may include hyper-links to other objects. Implementors should pay
      special attention to security of resolving such external references.
          In order to protect the privacy of information stored in documents,
          the OpenDocument v1.3 specification describes mechanisms by which
          applications can encrypt and verify the integrity of documents
          (e.g. digital signatures) in an interoperable way.

          Interoperability considerations: none

          Published specification:
      Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Version 1.3.
      Part 2: OpenDocument Packages
      https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/os/part2-packages/OpenDocument-v1.3-os-part2-packages.odt
      Part 3: OpenDocument Schema
      https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/os/part3-schema/OpenDocument-v1.3-os-part3-schema.odt

          Applications that use this media type:
      LibreOffice 4.4

          Additional information:

            Deprecated alias names for this type: N/A
            Magic number(s):
      0:PK,30:mimetype,38:vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-master-template
            File extension(s): otm
            Macintosh file type code(s): none

          Person & email address to contact for further information:
          1. Name: OASIS TC Admin
          2. Email: project-admin&oasis-open.org

          Intended usage: Common
