[tz] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-murchison-tzdist-tzif-00.txt

[Ken Murchison]

FYI.

This is our initial effort at "officially" documenting the time zone 
data binary format and defining a MIME type for it so it can be used 
with the Time Zone Distribution Service.

Abstract:
    This document defines the Time Zone Information File Format for
    representing and exchanging time zone information, independent of any
    particular service or protocol.  A MIME media type for this format is
    also defined.

Open Issues

    o  Need to review definitions of terms.

    o  Should we require TZDIST servers to always return a particular
       format (2 or 3) with/without leap seconds?  Or should we allow the
       client to choose what they want (via parameters on the MIME type)?

    o  Are we referencing the correct and most current versions of the
       relevant POSIX specs?

    o  Is the MIME registration complete and correct (e.g. any security
       or privacy considerations)?

                                                                                   


Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
