Did the "+xml" convention ever get formalized in some RFC? I know we all
*think* that tacking "+xml" onto the end of something means that it is some
use of XML, however, if I remember correctly, this little bit of syntax has
never actually been formalized... Or have I missed something? Is there an
RFC that defines what "+xml" means?
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3023.txt
""This document also standardizes a convention (using
the suffix '+xml') for naming media types outside of these five types
when those media types represent XML MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions) entities.""
