[Docutils-users] reStructuredText mimetype?

[<her...@no...>]

Hello,

I'm currently linking the ReST publisher to a framework. The latter is
based on filename extensions and mimetypes for registering which handler
class best suits which resource on load. This is for automatic
detection, but manual association is always possible.

Anyway, is there any "official" mimetype? text/x-restructured-text?
text/x-rest? Reading the FAQ I'm pretty sure you will reply plain/text
is recommended, because the argument is the same.

Thanks in advance,

There is no "officially official" MIME type.  If you need a registered
and recognized, officially official MIME type, please feel free to
research and initiate whatever process is necessary.

Python's PEPs use text/x-rst.  Benja Fallenstein registered
text/prs.fallenstein.rst
(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.text.docutils.devel/998).  Either of
these is fine.
