option 5 for TIFF-FX

Folks,

I'm very sorry for my slow action.
I have been very busy these days. I hope you understand my situation.
This month, I can find more time for our group. But, my response
may be slow. Thanks for your patience.

I do not follow every mails in September, but, anyway,
we have to decide for TIFF-FX.

As you already know, there are lots for favors for option 5.
Therefore, the conlusion is "option 5"

  5. Full TIFF-FX with 2 Content-types - retain the currently defined
  TIFF-FX draft without modification of the encoding set and use two
  MIME content-types within the SINGLE specification. It restricts
  the use of the existing image/tiff MIME type and .tif (or .tiff)
  file name extensions to profiles S and F, and assign a new MIME type and
  file name extension for the profiles J, C, L, and M (perhaps image/tifx and
  .tfx (or .tifx)). It's a variant of options 1 and 4.

We know there are pros and cons for option 5.
I hope everyone accept it. Also I would like everyone to help it go forward.

But, as already indicated, it might take more time to complete all work.
We need the schedule.

I think TIFF-FX editors and the people who support it should provide
somthing at first. Please do it.
