MIME types
What is the valid MIME type for a Atom file at the moment and will one
be registered? I have seen:
1. application/atom+xml
2. application/x.atom+xml
3. application/x-atom+xml
The third looks like the "most" correct one, since I believe such a 'x-'
prefix is needed when the it isn't registered yet and the first will
probably be the one after the MIME type is registered, right?
It could be that I'm missing something and only a 'x' prefix is wanted
so both 'x.' and 'x-' are correct, but I think we one should be
specified for the next draft.
Is it also correct that the following:
- application/xml
- text/xml (...)
Are valid MIME types for Atom as well? Those are used by some of the
test cases at the moment. Is it a failure when a feed parser reads files
as Atom when they use the following MIME:
- text/plain
- text/html
- image/* (replace * with 'png' etc.)
- other non XML MIME types
