Usage/Remarks
Values Best Practice
The source for this attribute’s values
is the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
Element Best Practice
Although this Tag Set cannot enforce
it, the element <graphic> should be limited
to still images. The element <media> should
be reserved for objects whose @mime-subtype
involves video, audio, moving images, time-dependent graphic types, and other non-XML
data
types. Mimetypes and subtypes should be set accordingly but are not constrained by
this
Tag Set.
