Re: looking for help creating a mime type

e the audible file is a container with other audio inside of it it shouldn't be too hard. Usually mp3, but occasionally the acelp or sony's HAC ((hearing aid compatible) codecs are used, although I don't have any idea what those last two are. Thanks Kendell Clark Jerome Leclanche wrot

Re: adding mime types for braille documents

his one. At least the brf format is open, and has a dtd. Duxbury was, I thought, a very proprietary company. I'm trying to find out if the brf format is registered. I can't seem to find it, so I'm assuming not. Would the mime type be something like text/braille? Thanks Kendell Clark
