I'm not entirely sure how the maturity levels map between the IETF and
the W3C. The sniffing spec is likely going to be part of the HASMAT
working group, which is starting up in the IETF. I don't expect the
algorithm itself to change much from its current form. Most of the
discussion has been centering on how it relates to other specs, such
as HTTP, and who should be require/allowed to implement the algorithm.
Thanks for the update and clarification. Please let me know if you
need me to do a review or if I can do anything else to help with the
process.

Hi Adam,
I'm writing on behalf of the Web Apps WG to inquire as to the
status of the
Media Type Sniffing spec [1]. The Widgets Packaging specification
is ready
to proceed to PR but has a normative dependency on [1]. In order
for the
widget spec to proceed to PR, the W3C has asked the WG to ascertain
the
stability of [1] in terms equivalent to those currently used at the
W3C
(i.e., Last Call Working Draft, Candidate Rec, etc.). Could you
possibly
give your opinion as to the maturity of [1] and if you see much
chance of it
changing (i.e., do you think changes to [1] could potentially break
implementations of the Widgets Packaging spec)?
Kind regards,
Marcos
