[tei-council] [TEI-L] application/tei+xml -- again (fwd)

[James Cummings]

I think I'm with Dan and Peter here.  I don't see that it benefits us 
much... if people want to fetch the TEI-C stylesheets on loading a 
document, there is already a method to do this recognised by most 
browsers (stylesheet processing instruction). As 'Internet Media Types' 
tend to define things like 'xml', 'pdf', 'ogg', 'javascript', and such, 
I think I'm bothered by the fact that TEI is, since P4 at least, XML. 
But yes, I guess if we did it then application/tei+xml is the right 
form. But I just keep doubting that TEI is an application media type, 
rather than just an instance of one of the existing ones (xml).
