application/smil MIME type (was: Re: XML MIME types)

[Philipp Hoschka <Ph...@sophia.inria.fr>]

People pointed me to an ongoing discussion about which
XML MIME types to include in the default configuration
of Apache. I guess I'm a bit late in joining this (the 
message i have is from Sept 4, appended), but better late
than never.

I wanted to ask whether the following MIME type could
be included:
application/smil

This is for SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration 
Language), an XML-based language that allows to integrate 
several media objects (images, text, audio, video) into a 
timed multimedia presentation.

W3C has issued SMIL as a recommendation
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil/

The following Internet Draft describes this MIME type:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hoschka-smil-media-type-02.txt

The IETF application area directors have been asked to
issue this as an RFC.

SMIL has been implemented by several people, for more
info see
http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/#SMIL

Would be great if this would make it into the 
Apache config files

Thanks !

A quick check of the IANA registry shows that text/xml and application/xml
have indeed been registered.

(see: http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/media-types).

As to xsl, it isn't there (you should probably poke the xsl folks to
register it...).

While you are at it, you might go looking for other things that should
be added.
