URI Fragment Identifiers for the text/csv Media Type
Abstract
This memo defines URI fragment identifiers for text/csv MIME
entities. These fragment identifiers make it possible to refer to
parts of a text/csv MIME entity identified by row, column, or cell.
Fragment identification can use single items or ranges.

RFC 7111 text/csv Fragment Identifiers January 2014
1. Introduction
This memo updates the text/csv media type defined in RFC 4180
[RFC4180] by defining URI fragment identifiers for text/csv MIME
entities.
The change to the text/csv media type registration required IESG
approval, as the IESG is the change controller for that registration.
The IESG has, after consultation with the IETF community, approved
the change, which is specified in Section 5 of this document.
This section gives an introduction to the general concepts of
text/csv MIME entities and URI fragment identifiers and discusses the
need for fragment identifiers for text/csv and deployment issues.
Section 2 discusses the principles and methods on which this memo is
