To the Media Types Community,

I am writing to request a community review for a new media type
registration in the Vendor Tree: application/vnd.fdd.

The Formatted Data Document (.fdd) is a secure, logic-less, and AI-native
document format designed to bridge the gap between human-readable UI and
machine-verifiable data. It uses a "Data-First" architecture (JSON-LD)
wrapped in a declarative HTML/CSS shell to eliminate the security risks
associated with scriptable attachments while providing a high-trust
interactive experience.

Registration Template:

Type name: application
Subtype name: vnd.fdd
Required parameters: N/A
Optional parameters: N/A
Encoding considerations: binary (FDD files are UTF-8 encoded but may
contain long lines and NUL octets common in JSON/HTML structures).
Security considerations: The format is strictly "logic-less" and forbids
JavaScript execution. It utilizes the "Security Shield" methodology to
strip active content. Integrity is managed via an integrated Signature
Block using JWS and Ed25519 public keys.
Interoperability considerations: Relies on standard web technologies (HTML,
CSS, JSON-LD) and Schema.org vocabularies for cross-platform data exchange.
Published specification: https://github.com/Spuds0588/open-fdd
Applications which use this media type: Financial institutions
(statements), legal tech (court records), personal CRM systems, and
AI-native data ingestion pipelines.
Fragment identifier considerations: Standard HTML fragment identifiers
apply.
Additional information:
  Magic number(s): N/A
  File extension(s): .fdd
  Macintosh file type code(s): N/A
Person & email address to contact for further information: Corey Burns <

Intended usage: COMMON
Author/Change controller: OpenFDD Project (
https://github.com/Spuds0588/open-fdd)

Thank you for your time and feedback.

Regards,

Corey Burns
