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.
The "+xml" suffix is the only suffixing scheme at IANA and is normatively defined in the RFC 3023 XML Media Types [1]. The section linked to below contains justification for inventing the suffixing scheme, which is almost as interesting as it is amusing. :) [1] http://rfc.net/rfc3023.html#p32 Ryan Tomayko rtomayko@gmail.com http://naeblis.cx/rtomayko/
