I have just submitted new versions of the mhtml -spec and -info documents.
Until they get uploaded to the IETF drafts directories, you can get them
from
ftp://ftp.dsv.su.se/users/jpalme/draft-ietf-mhtml-spec-06.txt
ftp://ftp.dsv.su.se/users/jpalme/draft-ietf-mhtml-info-06.txt
The differences between the old and the new versions are:
Changes from draft-ietf-mhtml-spec-05 to draft-ietf-mhtml-spec-06
=================================================================
I do not believe that any of these changes is controversial.
The following text has been added as a temporary preface:
--------------------------------------------------------
A note to the RFC editor: If the memo referenced as [HTML-I18N] has not
been assigned an RFC number when the memo below is published, you will
have to remove the references to [HTML-I18N]. That reference is not
crucial to the memo below.
Changes to the main text
--------------------------
Some trivial errors in the examples have been corrected: A few
erroneous double-quotes where the syntax does not specify quoting has
been removed and "http:/" has been changed to "http://" in one place.
Changes to the list of references:
---------------------------------
Some references to IETF drafts have been changed to refer to RFCs,
since these drafts have now been published as RFCs.
Changes to the list of authors:
------------------------------
The organization and address for Alexander Hopmann has been updated.
Changes from draft-ietf-mhtml-info-05 to draft-ietf-mhtml-info-06
=================================================================
I do not believe that any of these changes is controversial.
Added text immediately before chapter 4.1:
-----------------------------------------
Below is described different implementation methods. Real
implementations may sometimes combine ideas from more than one of the
different methods described below.
New text for chapter 8.2:
--------------------------
Multipart/alternative outside Multipart/related
(b) The multipart/alterantive is put outside the Multipart/Related,
with Multipart/Related as one alternative and Multipart/Mixed as the
other alternative. Note however that the [MHTML] does not recommend
links from inside Multipart/Related to objects outside of the
Multipart/Related, so putting inline images outside the
Multipart/Related is not suitable. Instead, such inline images may have
to repeated in both branches of the multipart/alternative with this
method.
Example:
Content-Type: MULTIPART/ALTERNATIVE
Boundary: boundary-example-1
--boundary-example-1
Content-Type: Multipart/mixed; boundary="boundary-example-3"
--boundary-example-3
Content-Type: Text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
... plain text version of the message for recipients
whose mailers cannot handle Text/HTML ...
--boundary-example-3
Content-Type: Image/GIF
... A picture associated with the plain text message ...
--boundary-example-3--
--boundary-example-1
Content-Type: Multipart/related; boundary="boundary-example-1";
type=Text/HTML
--boundary-example 2
Content-Type: Text/HTML; charset=US-ASCII
Content-ID: [log in to unmask]
... text of the HTML document ...
--boundary-example-2
Content-Type: Image/GIF
... a body part, to which the HTML document has a link ...
--boundary-example-2--
--boundary-example-1--
Changes to the list of references
---------------------------------
Some references have been changed from referring to IETF drafts to
refer to the corresponding RFC.
