afaik the trouble with the text/* mime-types is that they should not contain any charset-related information internally. that’s why application/xml is better than text/xml.

but for N3 the spec says it must be UTF-8, so i think in this case, text/rdf+n3 might make sense.

Hi Fred and Richard,

Regarding RSS1.1, I didn’t see any support in MagpieRSS or Universal Feed Parser, and I’m not sure other agregators can read it.

Would a revision would not be more adequate than a new verison with a new namespace? I ask the question :)<br /> <br /> <br /> Take care,<br /> <br /> <br /> Fred Hi Richard,

Thanks for this reference :)

However: who is supporting this new version 1.1? Would a revision would not be more adequate than a new verison with a new namespace? I ask the question :)

Take care,

exactly. Dave Beckett choose to use application instead of text to describe its N3 Turtle language and you are right about HTML pages too ;)

In fact, the rendered result of such a file is at the intention of humans, but the file in itself, the code, is at the intention of machines.

I talked about all that stuff with Uldis Bojar yesterday and the result was: the mimes for N3 is a mess, one web crawler should support many to be sure to find all of them.

Thanks for your comment!

Take care,

Fred
