A derivative like "application/egg+zip" would allow the media type to be associated with easy_install or other handlers while preserving the base media type information (although I'm not completely clear on whether derivatives require registration).
"application/egg+zip" would require registration. I've not seen the "+foo" annotation style used for anything other than "+xml" yet, but this use makes sense to me.
Same here. I'm still trying to dig it up but I think I remember seeing the "+foo" annotation explicitly specified in the normative application/xml media type specification. But I'm not seeing it so I could be wrong. Ryan Tomayko rtomayko@gmail.com http://naeblis.cx/rtomayko/
