Dear Alexey Melnikov, Darrel Miller (cc: regext WG),



Following up on this; as the designated experts for the Structured Syntax 
Suffixes registry, can you review the proposed registration in 
draft-ietf-regext-rdap-geofeed-09 for us? Please see



https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-regext-rdap-geofeed/



The due date was March 28th.



If this is OK, when the IESG approves the document for publication, we'll make 
the registration at:



https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-type-structured-suffix/



Unless you ask us to wait for the other reviewer, we’ll act on the first 
response we receive.

The suffix registration generally looks fine to me. One small thing:

The registration template says:

·         Encoding Considerations: Same as "text/csv".

If we look at at RFC 4180 that defines text/csv:

   Encoding considerations:



      As per section 4.1.1. of RFC 2046 [3], this media type uses CRLF

      to denote line breaks.  However, implementors should be aware that

      some implementations may use other values.

This is stricly speaking is not a compliant definition for this field, because 
valid values are "7bit", "8bit", "binary" and "framed". I think clarifying that 
this is "binary", because lines over 1000 octets are allowed by the format.


[JS] Right. Since the IANA registration for the “+csv” suffix references RFC 
7111 besides RFC 4180 and the “Encoding considerations” in section 5.1 of RFC 
7111 [1] starts with the “CSV MIME entities consist of binary data [RFC6838].” 
sentence, we as authors would prefer to keep the “Same as "text/csv".” text 
as-is to let the implementors directly read the normative text from RFCs 4180 
and 7111 for encoding considerations.
Alternatively, to make it clearer, we could remove the RFC 4180 reference from 
the “References” in the IANA registration to point to encoding considerations 
(and the updated the text/csv media type registration) from RFC 7111 only.
