Brian The details of whether one branch of the MIME tree or another is best suited for the application is definitely more suitable for the RAI area. The fact that this problem is not discussed in the RFC and the historic designation is misleading, is a good subject for this list. I personally

John, In the case of RFC 4612, I was not terribly surprised given the fact that RFC 4351 had already gone through the same discussion. In any case, the ITU had long finished its work on T.38 before the IETF completed its work on the audio/t38 registration. T.38 does not reference RFC 4612,

Dear Todd, what is specified/you ask is logic. But the pluses of the IETF also come from not being that formal. Some kind of fuzzy logic. I thought for a while it could be corrected by the users from inside (hence my involvement). I hoped we would have less difficulties like this one, less

The problem is Brian - that there is this underlying assumption with the entire IETF service model that says that people are responsible for maintaining their own alignment with IETF standards - and so at some point they decide they have spent enough and they stop spending to participate.

If what I am reading is correct it sounds like the real design mistake here was putting semantics into content types in the first place. A code point registration should be just that, registration of a unique identifier to prevent confusion. Once people start adding semantics into the

In the case of the audio/t38 document (RFC 4612), this was written only because, if I read RFC 4288 correctly, such a document is needed to register a MIME type in the IETF tree. Then you're not reading the document correctly. For one thing, there isn't an IETF tree any longer - it's now
