Macintosh Universal Type Identifier code: "org.w3c.woff" Is this part of a media type registration? (If so, is it required for all "font" subtypes?) Chris Lilley: I opened an issue on Macintosh type codes: https://github.com/svgeesus/ietf-justfont/issues/26 There are two Apple-specific systems: the old four-character Macintosh Type Codes mentioned in the Media Types registration template, which were in use up to Mac OS 9 but are no longer used, and the newer Universal Type Identifiers used in OS X. I raised the issue of which to use (on media-ty...@ietf.org) and got a swift response from Ned Freed suggesting that the legacy Macintosh Type Codes were of little value, and that adding the current Macintosh UTI was probably beneficial. In response, I checked all the Macintosh Type Codes in the current document; they all say "(no code specified)" which seems optimal. I also looked at the Apple documentation for UTIs. There are two forms, the 'public' ones defined by Apple and the extensible, java-style reverse DNS ones for other organisations. https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/understanding_utis/understand_utis_conc/understand_utis_conc.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001319-CH202-CHDHIJDE There is a registry of the public ones, including font-related UTIs like public.truetype-font and so on https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Miscellaneous/Reference/UTIRef/Articles/System-DeclaredUniformTypeIdentifiers.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009259-SW1 I added these to the current document, so all font subtypes now have this information. I have thus closed this issue. -- Chris Lilley @svgeesus Technical Director @ W3C W3C Strategy Team, Core Web Design W3C Architecture & Technology Team, Core Web & Media
