Does JAX-RS specify the use of extensions to specify response media types?

I just took a quick look through the JAX-RS specification, but I didn't find any mention of extension mapping.  Is this defined in the spec?  If not, do any of the other JAX-RS (or REST) frameworks implement extension mapping?

Hi David,

I believe it was specified back in 0.8 but then was dropped for whatever 
reasons. AFAIK, Jersey & CXF still support it

I was not involved in the discussions at that time so can not comment.

According to the book, the former, for JAX-RS 1.0.  (JAX-RS 2.0, which 
we don't yet implement, I don't know if there's anything common in there.)

Just so I'm clear, it was removed because they couldn't agree on how to specify the mapping from extensions to content types, and not that they couldn't agree on using extension mapping?

According to Bill Burke's book "RESTful Java with JAX-RS" (p. 114), they 
came close but decided to remove from the JAX-RS 1.0 specification a 
formal way to define this extension mapping (too many disagreements over 
its syntax.)

HTH,
