Are the quotes part of the parameter value? Or, are quotes merely
delimiters of the value? If RFC045 is read to indicate that the
quotes are delimiters, then it would not be in conflict with
RFC4288 since in both cases, "feed" would be interpretted as being
the value 'feed'...
+1. The way I read it the quotes do not matter.
OK, you have convinced me; I simply misinterpreted RFC 4288.
This raises the question, however, whether it would be worth pointing
out in the I-D that quoting a parameter value is allowed. Implementors
might otherwise produce code that does treat
application/atom+xml;type="feed" and application/atom+xml;type=feed as
different.
James, can you add a note to this effect to your I-D? It doesn't do any
harm and might to be useful (at least to people like me ;-).
