Now given that this spec is in xml, my question is simply: can't we just re-use application/atom+xml at least to serve those documents? Does one really need a new mime type?
So that every HTTP client and intermediary that wants to handle Atom Feeds has to peek inside the content to determine if the entity body is a Feed or an Introspection/Service document? The first thing I said in this thread is that mime-types are used for dispatching on the web. All the arguing in this thread hasn't changed that fact. -joe -- Joe Gregorio http://bitworking.org
