            Additional Media Type Structured Syntax Suffixes
              draft-ietf-appsawg-media-type-suffix-regs-08

Abstract

   A content media type name sometimes includes partitioned meta-
   information distinguish by a Structured Syntax, to permit noting an
   attribute of the media as a suffix to the name.  This document
   defines several Structured Syntax Suffixes for use with media type
   registrations.  In particular, it defines and registers the "+json",
   "+ber", "+der", "+fastinfoset", "+wbxml" and "+zip" Structured Syntax
   Suffixes, and provides a Message Type Structured Syntax Suffix
   registration form for the "+xml" Structured Syntax Suffix.

1.  Introduction

   [RFC3023] created the +xml suffix convention that can be used when
   defining names for media types whose representation uses XML
   underneath.  That is, they could have been successfully parsed as if
   the media type had been application/xml in addition to their being
   parsed as their media type that is using the +xml suffix.
   [I-D.ietf-appsawg-media-type-regs] defines the Message Type
   Structured Syntax Suffixes registry to be used for such Structured
   Syntax Suffixes.

   A variety of Structured Syntax Suffixes have already been used in
   some media type registrations, in particular "+json", "+der",
   "+fastinfoset" and "+wbxml".  This document defines and registers
   these Structured Syntax Suffixes in the Structured Syntax Suffix
   registry, along with "+ber" and "+zip".  In addition, this document
   updates [RFC3023] to formally register the "+xml" Structured Syntax
   Suffix according to procedure defined in
   [I-D.ietf-appsawg-media-type-regs].

   Discussion of this document should occur in the Apps Area Working
   Group (apps-discuss@ietf.org).  [RFC Editor note: remove this
   paragraph.]

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

2.  When to Use these Structured Syntax Suffixes

   Each of the Structured Syntax Suffixes defined in this document is
   appropriate for use when the media type identifies the semantics of
   the protocol payload.  That is, knowing the semantics of the specific
   media type provides for more specific processing of the content than
   that afforded by generic processing of the underlying representation.

   At the same time, using the suffix allows receivers of the media
   types to do generic processing of the underlying representation in
   cases where

      they do not need to perform special handling of the particular
      semantics of the exact media type, and,

      there is no special knowledge needed by such a generic processor
      in order to parse that underlying representation other than what
      would be needed to parse any example of that underlying
      representation.

3.  Initial Structured Syntax Suffix Definitions

3.1.  The +json Structured Syntax Suffix

   [RFC4627] defines the "application/json" media type.  The suffix
   "+json" MAY be used with any media type whose representation follows
   that established for "application/json".  The Message Type Structured
   Syntax Suffix registration form follows.  See
   [I-D.ietf-appsawg-media-type-regs] for definitions of each of the
   registration form headings.

   Name:               JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)

   +suffix:            +json

   References:         [RFC4627]

   Encoding considerations:  Per [RFC4627], JSON is allowed to be
                       represented using UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32.  When
                       JSON is written in UTF-8, JSON is 8bit compatible
                       ([RFC2045]).  When JSON is written in UTF-16 or
                       UTF-32, JSON is binary ([RFC2045]).

   Fragment identifier considerations:

                          The syntax and semantics of fragment
                          identifiers specified for +json SHOULD be as
                          specified for "application/json".  (At
                          publication of this document, there is no
                          fragment identification syntax defined for
                          "application/json".)

                          The syntax and semantics for fragment
                          identifiers for a specific "xxx/yyy+json"
                          SHOULD be processed as follows:

                             For cases defined in +json, where the
                             fragment identifier resolves per the +json
                             rules, then as specified in +json.

                             For cases defined in +json, where the
                             fragment identifier does not resolve per
                             the +json rules, then as specified in "xxx/
                             yyy+json".

                             specified in "xxx/yyy+json".

3.2.  The +ber Structured Syntax Suffixes

   The ITU defined the Basic Encoding Rules (BER) message transfer
   syntax in [ITU.X690.2008].  The suffix "+ber" MAY be used with any
   media type whose representation follows the BER message transfer
   syntax.  (The expert reviewer for Message Type Structured Syntax
   Suffix registrations ought to be aware of the relationship between
   BER and DER to aid in selecting the proper suffix.)  The Message Type
   Structured Syntax Suffix registration form for +ber follows:

   Name:               Basic Encoding Rules (BER) message transfer
                       syntax

   +suffix:            +ber

   References:         [ITU.X690.2008]

   Encoding considerations:  BER is a binary encoding.

   Fragment identifier considerations:

                          At publication of this document, there is no
                          fragment identification syntax defined for
                          +ber.

                          The syntax and semantics for fragment
                          identifiers for a specific "xxx/yyy+ber"
                          SHOULD be processed as follows:

                             For cases defined in +ber, where the
                             fragment identifier resolves per the +ber
                             rules, then as specified in +ber.

                             For cases defined in +ber, where the
                             fragment identifier does not resolve per
                             the +ber rules, then as specified in "xxx/
                             yyy+ber".

                             For cases not defined in +ber, then as
                             specified in "xxx/yyy+ber".

   Interoperability considerations:  n/a

   Security considerations:  Each individual media type registered with
                       a +ber suffix can have additional security
                       considerations.

                       BER has a type-length-value structure, and it is
                       easy to construct malicious content with invalid
                       length fields that can cause buffer overrun
                       conditions.

                       BER allows for arbitrary levels of nesting, which
                       may make it possible to construct malicious
                       content that will cause a stack overflow.

                       Interpreters of the BER structures should be
                       aware of these issues and should take appropriate
                       measures to guard against buffer overflows and
                       stack overruns in particular and malicious
                       content in general.

3.3.  The +der Structured Syntax Suffixes

   The ITU defined the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) message
   transfer syntax in [ITU.X690.2008].  The suffix "+der" MAY be used
   with any media type whose representation follows the DER message
   transfer syntax.  (The expert reviewer for Message Type Structured
   Syntax Suffix registrations ought to be aware of the relationship
   between BER and DER to aid in selecting the proper suffix.)  The
   Message Type Structured Syntax Suffix registration form for +der
   follows:

   +suffix:            +der

   References:         [ITU.X690.2008]

   Encoding considerations:  DER is a binary encoding.

   Fragment identifier considerations:

                          At publication of this document, there is no
                          fragment identification syntax defined for
                          +der.

                          The syntax and semantics for fragment
                          identifiers for a specific "xxx/yyy+der"
                          SHOULD be processed as follows:

                             For cases defined in +der, where the
                             fragment identifier resolves per the +der
                             rules, then as specified in +der.

                             For cases defined in +der, where the
                             fragment identifier does not resolve per
                             the +der rules, then as specified in "xxx/
                             yyy+der".

                             For cases not defined in +der, then as
                             specified in "xxx/yyy+der".

   Interoperability considerations:  n/a

   Security considerations:  Each individual media type registered with
                       a +der suffix can have additional security
                       considerations.

                       DER has a type-length-value structure, and it is

3.4.  The +fastinfoset Structured Syntax Suffix

   The ITU defined the Fast Infoset document format as a binary
   representation of the XML Information Set in [ITU.X891.2005].  These
   documents further define the "application/fastinfoset" media type.
   The suffix "+fastinfoset" MAY be used with any media type whose
   representation follows that established for "application/
   fastinfoset".  The Message Type Structured Syntax Suffix registration
   form follows:

   Name:               Fast Infoset document format

   +suffix:            +fastinfoset

   References:         [ITU.X891.2005]

   Encoding considerations:  Fast Infoset is a binary encoding.  The
                       binary, quoted-printable and base64 content-
                       transfer-encodings are suitable for use with Fast
                       Infoset.

   Fragment identifier considerations:

                          The syntax and semantics of fragment
                          identifiers specified for +fastinfoset SHOULD
                          be as specified for "application/fastinfoset".
                          (At publication of this document, there is no
                          fragment identification syntax defined for
                          "application/fastinfoset".)

                          yyy+fastinfoset" SHOULD be processed as
                          follows:

   Security considerations:  There are no security considerations
                       inherent in Fast Infoset.  Each individual media
                       type registered with a +fastinfoset suffix can
                       have additional security considerations.

3.5.  The +wbxml Structured Syntax Suffix

   The WAP Forum has defined the WAP Binary XML (WBXML) document format
   as a binary representation of XML in [WBXML].  This document further
   defines the "application/vnd.wap.wbxml" media type.  The suffix
   "+wbxml" MAY be used with any media type whose representation follows

3.6.  The +zip Structured Syntax Suffix

   The ZIP format is a public domain, cross-platform, interoperable file
   storage and transfer format, originally defined by PKWARE, Inc.; it
   supports compression and encryption and is used as the underlying
   representation by a variety of file formats.  The media type
   "application/zip" has been registered for such files.  The suffix
   "+zip" MAY be used with any media type whose representation follows
   that established for "application/zip".  The Message Type Structured
   Syntax Suffix registration form follows:

   Name:               ZIP file storage and transfer format

   +suffix:            +zip

4.  IANA Considerations

   See the Message Type Structured Syntax Suffix registration forms in
   Section 3.1 - Section 3.6.

Internet-Draft       Additional Media Type Suffixes        November 2012

   The following Structured Syntax Suffix registration for "+xml" shall
   be used to reflect the information found in [RFC3023], with the
   addition of fragment identifier considerations:

   Name:               Extensible Markup Language (XML)

   +suffix:            +xml

   References:         [RFC3023]

   Encoding considerations:  Per [RFC3023], XML is allowed to be
                       represented using both 7-bit and 8-bit encodings.
                       When XML is written in UTF-8, XML is 8bit
                       compatible ([RFC2045]).  When XML is written in
                       UTF-16 or UTF-32, XML is binary ([RFC2045]).

   Fragment identifier considerations:

                          The syntax and semantics of fragment
                          identifiers specified for +xml SHOULD be as
                          specified for "application/xml".  (At
                          publication of this document, the fragment
                          identification syntax considerations for
                          "application/xml" are defined in [RFC3023],
                          sections 5 and 7.)

                          The syntax and semantics for fragment
                          identifiers for a specific "xxx/yyy+xml"
                          SHOULD be processed as follows:

                             For cases defined in +xml, where the
                             fragment identifier resolves per the +xml
                             rules, then as specified in +xml.

                             For cases defined in +xml, where the
                             fragment identifier does not resolve per
                             the +xml rules, then as specified in "xxx/
                             yyy+xml".

                             For cases not defined in +xml, then as
                             specified in "xxx/yyy+xml".

5.  Security Considerations

   See the Security considerations sections found in the Message Type
   Structured Syntax Suffix registration forms from Section 3.1 -
   Section 3.5.

   When updating a +<suffix> registration, care should be taken to
   review all previously-registered xxx/yyy+<suffix> media types as to
   whether they might be affected by the updated +<suffix> registration.
   Because the generic fragment identifier processing rules take
   precedence over media-type-specific rules, introducing new or
   changing existing definitions may break the existing registrations of
   specific media types, as well as particular implementations of
   applications that process affected media types.  Such changes can
   introduce interoperability and security issues.

   When updating the fragment identifier processing rules for a specific
   xxx/yyy+<suffix> media type, care should be taken to review the
   generic fragment identifier processing rules for the +<suffix>
   registration and not introduce any conflicts.  Because the generic
   fragment identifier processing rules take precedence over media-type-
   specific rules, such conflicting processing requirements should be
   ignored by an implementation, but such conflicts can introduce
   interoperability and security issues.

   Note that [FRAGID-BP] provides additional advice to designers of
   fragment identifier rules for media type suffixes and specific media
   types.
