DR 09-0165 ? SML and PML: Lack of Media Types

[Chris Rae]

This looks good - I have actually submitted my registrations for the MS Office-specific variants (macro, template etc), so I think you can remove the sentence about those being submitted in future. I did specify the file types in each of the registrations, so you may want to restrict discussion in this submission to DOCX.

I hadn't mailed the list yet about my registrations because they have not all been approved yet - I'll report back when they are.

For reference, if you get the Captcha code wrong on the IANA submission page, the encoding will be set to "7-bit" when you go back and resubmit, unless you fix it before submitting. This will go some way to explaining the delay in mine...

Dear colleagues,

I plan to submit this media type registration to IANA.  Please let me
know if you have some comments.

Cheers,
Makoto

MIME media type name : Application

MIME subtype name : Vendor Tree -
vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

Required parameters : None

Optional parameters :  None

Encoding considerations : binary
This media type may require encoding on transports not capable of
handling binary.

Security considerations :

This subtype is intended for an OOXML document of the category
Wordprocessing.  It is a ZIP package containing OPC parts, some of
which are XML documents.

An OOXML document of this subtype do not contain macros.  Other media
types are expected to be registered for those which do.  Note that
different file extensions are used depending on whether OOXML
documents contain macros.  For example, "docx" is used for macro-free
(non-template) documents, while "docm" is used for macro-enabled
(non-template) documents.

An OOXML document of this subtype may contain an Active-X control only
when an OPC part of type application/vnd.ms-office.activeX+xml exists
within this OOXML document.

An OOXML document of this subtype may contain personal information,
but cannnot be encrypted.  In other words, ISO/IEC 29500 or Ecma-376
do not provide any mechanisms for encryption.  OOXML documents
encrypted by mechanisms beyond ISO/IEC 29500 are not of this subtype.

An OOXML document of this subtype may contain a digital signature, as
specified in ISO/IEC 29500-2.

ISO/IEC 29500 has two conformance classes: 'strict' and
'transitional'.  This subtype applies to both classes.

Interoperability considerations :
No specific issues have been identified.

Published specification :
ISO/IEC 29500

Applications which use this media :
OOXML applications.

Additional information :

1. Magic number(s) : None
2. File extension(s) : docx
3. Macintosh file type code : "MSWD"
4. Object Identifiers: None
