OASIS eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) TC

Hello, I've been authorized [1] by the OASIS XACML Technical Committee to register 3 media types: application/xacmlpolicy+xml, application/xacmlrequest+xml, and application/xacmlresponse+xml and have a question about the registration process [2]. Section 4.10 states: "standards tree registrations for media types defined in documents produced by other standards bodies MUST be described by a formal standards specification produced by that body." Does that mean we first have to have a committee specification that prescribes the use of a media type, before we can register said media type with IANA? Thanks, Ray [1] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201112/msg00006.html [2] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4288

Ray, We can probably leverage the XACML 2.0 standard for this purpose if it is required, instead of waiting for XACML 3.0 CS. I don't think there is a need to register different media types for different XACML versions.

But my concern with the quoted text is that it seems to imply that we need to talk about the media type in the specification. Since there is no mention of application/xacmlprofile+xml in any of our specs, that would be an issue. Thanks, Ray
