XML Media Types
RFC 3023, “XML Media Types”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2001 by M. Murata, S. St. Laurent, D. Kohn. It updates RFC 2048. It obsoletes RFC 2376. It has since been updated by RFC 6839. It has been obsoleted by RFC 7303 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document standardizes five new media types -- text/xml, application/xml, text/xml-external-parsed-entity, application/xml- external-parsed-entity, and application/xml-dtd -- for use in exchanging network entities that are related to the Extensible Markup Language (XML). This document also standardizes a convention (using the suffix '+xml') for naming media types outside of these five types when those media types represent XML MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) entities. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
