AvK FWIW, the duty of the W3C is to bring the web to its full potential, not
AvK quibble over terminology.

So just call it 'Internet Media Type' like the IETF and IANA do, and quit 
quibbling.

An informative aside (previously called MIME type) can be added for folks not 
up to speed.

Re: Initial feedback on XBL2

AB Adding active content via CSS is bad for security.  For example, IE
AB has removed support for CSS expressions (which execute script) and
AB Mozilla has removed support for XBL bindings, which, like this
AB proposal, would allow for script execution from CSS.  Perhaps we
AB should consider a more secure mechanism for invoking the binding.

In the light of that browser implementor feedback about the drawbacks of using 
CSS to add active content, maybe another method should be chosen. XPath for 
example might be useful here.
