text/uri-list   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #11919 of 14020 |
And another slightly OT post (feel free to point me to a more
appropriate list):

What's people's opinion about using text/uri-list, defined in [1], as
a generic format for lists of URIs? The RFC says it's intended for a
specific purpose, namely identification of replicated resources. So
would it be better to a) invent a new media type in the vnd tree, b)
use text/uri-list beyond its original scope or c) draft a new RFC for
this?

Thanks,
Stefan
