The "type" attribute of atom:content can be a MIME media type:
> 4.1.3 The "atom:content" Element [...] > 4.1.3.1 The "type" attribute [...] > [...] Failing that, it MUST be a MIME media type [RFC2045] with a > discrete top-level type (see Section 5 of [RFC2045]). After looking at RFC2045, I wasn't very clear about what a "media type" is. Does it include parameters? Parts of 2045 suggest that a "media type" might include parameters: > 5. Content-Type Header Field > > The purpose of the Content-Type field is to describe the data > contained in the body [...] The value in this field is called a > media type. Other parts (most of the document in fact), suggest that a "media type" is only the top level element, such as "text": > After the media type and subtype names, the remainder of the header > field is simply a set of parameters Is "media type" an accurate term for us to use? I'm asking this because I really don't know whether parameters are supposed to be allowed in the "type" attribute or not. -- Dave
