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

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. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: New Version Notification for draft-murchison-tzdist-tzif-00.txt Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 04:58:00 -0800 From: internet-drafts@ietf.org To: Arthur David Olson <arthurdavidolson@gmail.com>, Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>, Ken Murchison <murch@fastmailteam.com>, Arthur Olson <arthurdavidolson@gmail.com>, Kenneth Murchison <murch@fastmailteam.com> A new version of I-D, draft-murchison-tzdist-tzif-00.txt has been successfully submitted by Kenneth Murchison and posted to the IETF repository. Name: draft-murchison-tzdist-tzif Revision: 00 Title: The Time Zone Information Format (TZif) Document date: 2017-11-26 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 12 URL: https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-murchison-tzdist-tzif-00.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-murchison-tzdist-tzif/ Htmlized: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-murchison-tzdist-tzif-00 Htmlized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-murchison-tzdist-tzif-00 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. The IETF Secretariat
