Hello, I would like to register a new vendor media type. The completed registration template follows. Type name: application Subtype name: vnd.anky Required parameters: N/A Optional parameters: N/A Encoding considerations: UTF-8 text. Line endings MUST be LF (U+000A). Files consist entirely of printable Unicode characters, ASCII digits, spaces (U+0020), and line feeds. Security considerations: Anky session files contain raw keystroke timing data from stream-of-consciousness writing sessions. The content may include personally sensitive text. Implementations should treat session files as private by default and should not expose raw content without explicit user consent. The format is purely data and contains no executable content, no embedded links, and no active elements. Implementations MUST NOT interpret or execute any portion of an .anky file as code. Session files may be hashed (SHA-256) and the resulting digest published on a public blockchain (Solana) as a content commitment. The hash commits to the content without revealing it. Interoperability considerations: The format is plain UTF-8 text and is trivially parseable in any programming language. Line ending normalization (CRLF to LF) should be performed before hashing to ensure cross-platform determinism. The specification includes a formal ABNF grammar. Published specification: https://anky.app/spec.md Applications which use this media type: Anky — a mobile writing application centered on timed stream-of-consciousness practice. Available on iOS. Fragment identifier considerations: N/A Restrictions on usage: None Additional information: - Deprecated alias names for this type: N/A - Magic number(s): First line matches the pattern: 13-digit integer, space, single character, newline - File extension(s): .anky - Macintosh file type code: N/A - Object Identifiers: N/A Person to contact for further information: - Name: Jorge Pablo Franetovic - Email: [email protected] Intended usage: COMMON Author/Change controller: Anky, Inc.
