[media-types] [IANA #1448627] expert review for draft-pa ntos-content-steering-03 (vendor tree, conflict review)

Hi Murray, 

The media type template has been updated in version -04 (see below). Could you let us know if this is OK? 

Thanks,
Sabrina

Type name: application

Subtype name: vnd.apple.steering-list

Required parameters: N/A

Optional parameters: N/A

Encoding considerations: binary (UTF-8)

Security considerations: See Section 12.

Interoperability considerations: There are no byte-ordering issues
   since files are 8-bit text.  Applications could encounter
   unrecognized keys, which SHOULD be ignored.

Published specification: see Section 4.

Applications that use this media type: streaming media content
delivery protocols such as HLS and DASH, including media servers and
media players.

Fragment identifier considerations: no Fragment Identifiers are
defined for this media type.

Query parameter considerations: this specification does not define
any query parameters, however any CDP using Content Steering may
define query parameters.  (See Section 6.)

      Magic number(s): none
