Well, the point was that a browser or any other display application cannot detect that a specific text file is in fact a line-printer ready text file. This is why we propose to assign a mime type or a mime parameter, so (future) applications know how to present it. The first step is to let John know if you support doing this (and eventually if you have a preference between the 3 options). Then if the idea goes forward, we can start the work of modifying the applications so they render correctly this format. - -- Marc Petit-Huguenin Personal email: m...@petit-huguenin.org Professional email: petit...@acm.org Blog: http://blog.marc.petit-huguenin.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk7TwqcACgkQ9RoMZyVa61cEBACfeL+jaxH86JV7PE1YmDzqDAuK ZAEAn2XoUYFTjinfZuTLctF2MnAhp9kT =swso -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
