SC4: WG11 - P21 MIME type

[David Price]

I think I remember guys from NASA (Steve Waterbury maybe?) suggesting
this. I don't remember anyone doing anything about it.

Just out of curiosity, what value is there in a MIME type for Part 21
formatted files without knowing the schema upon which they are based?

In other words, if SC4 wanted to pursue MIME types, would it not make
sense to use "model" and specify an AP (or conformance class or module)?
IGES is already there as a "model".

Cheers,
David

I vaguely recall some discussion about this a while ago, back when
Christophe was here.  But don't know if anything happened.

I am forwarding this to the WG11 mail list in case anyone else
has more information about this.
