A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Content Negotiation Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: A syntax for describing media feature sets

  A number of Internet application protocols have a need to provide
  content negotiation for the resources with which they interact [1].
  A framework for such negotiation is described in [2], part of which
  is a way to describe the range of media features which can be
  handled by the sender, recipient or document transmission format of
  a message.  A format for a vocabulary of individual media features
  and procedures for feature registration are presented in [3].
 
  This document introduces and describes a syntax that can be used to
  define feature sets which are formed from combinations and
  relations involving individual media features.  Such feature sets
  are used to describe the media feature handling capabilities of
  message senders, recipients and file formats.
 
  An algorithm for feature set matching is also described here.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
