Subject: Re: [xliff] Mime type values

Hi Tony,
 
Is there a way we could allow subtype specification in the schema without 
specifying all the known media subtypes; e.g. "image/gif"? In other words, can 
we enumerate a list of types with an undefined subtype list in a pattern? If 
not, I guess we are stuck with listing only the media types. 
 
cheers,
john

Hi all:

An open 1.1 
issue yet to be fully resolved relates to the list of Mime types. 
 Assuming that we only list the media types and don't attempt to capture 
subtypes (there's no closed list),  according to RFC2046 the list of mime types 
should be:

    text
    
image
    audio
    
video
    application
    
multipart
    message

We could try to list all known 
types in our spec,  but I don't recommend this because the list would be 
both enormous and always incomplete.  However,  we could list the 
basic type for each (which are provided as examples in the RFC 
itiself).

What's the opinion of the group?

Regards,
Tony
