| That's fine by me, except that it would need to be:
| xml/x-myml
| xml/x-theirml
| xml/x-everyonesml (or xml/everyonesml if 'everyonesml' was a registered
| subtype.)
OK, that's fine.
But to rephrase my question:
Who decides which DTDs have sufficient merit/useage/stability/etc
to warrant a registered subtype?
It seems unrealistic to expect IETF to make those sort
of decisions.
Or, to rephrase again:
If I write a new DTD for (say) classifying house bricks,
to be used in the building industry, and I go to to the
IETF, and say:
Give me a registered subtype!
What should they do and say?
Cheers,
