xml-dev - RE: media types of stylesheets

["Didier PH Martin" <martind@netfolder.com>]

Hi Oliver,

Oliver said:
According to
   ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/media-types
only "text/xml" comes into question.

The question arose because IE with MSXML (March 15, 2000) requires
"text/xsl", otherwise the referenced stylesheet isn't used.

Is that a bug (resp. a MS feature) ?

Didier replies:
No its not. The MIME type for XSLT is "text/xsl", the MIME type for DSSSL is
"text/dsssl" and the MIME type for CSS is "text/css".

Now, the question is: Does these MIME types are well registered to IANA? I
do not know. If not, it is then a practice shared by the XML community to
use these MIME types for style sheets.

Cheers
Didier PH Martin
