ANNOUNCEMENT: Start of the Public Comment Period on the
FITS MIME type proposal

This is to announce the official start of the 4-week formal Public Comment
Period on the proposal to register 2 new Internet MIME media types for FITS
data files: "image/fits" and "application/fits".

The latest 17-May-2004 draft of the MIME type proposal is available for
comment at http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/fits/mime/. The draft is available
there in postscript, PDF, and plain text formats. Listings of the
differences with the previous 2 drafts of the document are also available.

Please submit your comments here on the sci.astro.fits newsgroup, or on the
related FITSBITS moderated mail list. If you previously submitted comments
that have not been incorporated in this latest draft, and if you feel that
they still need to be addressed, then please submit the comments again.

The previous informal discussions about this FITS MIME proposal on the
'fitsmime' mail list at NRAO may be viewed in the archive at
http://listmgr.cv.nrao.edu/pipermail/fitsmime/. Other related postings here
on the FITSBITS mail list may be viewed in the archive at

postings in December 2002, June 2003, and March 2004,
