There was a bunch of discussion back and forth with IANA and eventually application/texinfo was registered: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml#application https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/texinfo There were some charset concerns about text/texinfo (that I never managed to understand myself, so I can't confirm if they weren't just imaginary), and some people thought application/x-texinfo was more wide-spread than text/x-texinfo. I didn't understand from your first e-mail what your thinking around GNU Texinfo format for the mime.types registry is? As far as I can tell there is a proper application/x-texinfo entry already? I tried reading about the text/prs.texi format on https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/prs.texi but the links aren't working. Is there any software that supports that format in Debian? My preference would be to have a application/texinfo associated with *.texi and *.texinfo. If there is some preference mechanism in place, I would prefer that application/texinfo is before text/prs.texi. Of course, I see no reason to remove support for application/x-texinfo, it should from now on just be an alias for application/texinfo. /Simon
