It actually does harm. First, unless carefully phrased that might be misread to suggest application/atom+xml;type="'feed'" or similar is allowed, and it would suggest a false sense of completeness. As an example, RFC 2616 would also allow you to use type="f\eed" or use of MIME word encoding in the quoted string ala type="=?...?=". It seems this is better left to a test suite. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
