INTERNET-DRAFT draft-conboy-mime-ocf-00 August 6, 2007 1. Introduction The present document registers a media type for the OEBPS (Open eBook Publication Structure) Container Format (OCF). An OCF file is a general-purpose container technology based on the ZIP archive format. It is used to encapsulate OEBPS publications and OPTIONAL alternate renditions thereof. OCF and its related standards are maintained and defined by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). The media type defined here is needed to correctly identify OCF files when they are edited on disk or used in other places where media types are used. 2. Security Considerations OCF files contain binary data conforming to the ZIP file format. Clearly it is possible to author malicious files which, for example, contain malformed data. Most XML parsers protect themselves from such attacks by rigoriously enforcing conformance. All processors that read OPF files should rigourously check the size and validity of data retrieved. 3. IANA Considerations The present document requests that IANA registers the media type application/epub+zip as specified in Section 3.1. The registration uses the template present in [RFC4288]. 3.1. Media Type for OEBPS Container Format Type name: application Subtype name: epub+zip Required parameters: none Optional parameters: none Encoding considerations: OCF files are binary file in ZIP format.
