[MEI-L] File extensions

[Sigfrid Lundberg]

True, we had problems. But then I got hold of someone who explained and resubmitted it as an informational RFC. It wen't through 8 peer reviewers before it was accepted since it is a voting system within the IESG. Most of them just said "yes"

I suspect that it wasn't successful because they applied for the standards track, and not the vendor-specific track. The former needs to be published by a recognized standards committee, while the latter can be more free but needs to have 'vnd.' prepended.

FWIW, this was TEI's application for a mimetype. I don't *think* it was successful, I might be wrong.

XML is XML, I think.

So I use .xml regularly. Not a big fan of .mei, .tei, .odd that I see around sometimes. It's possibly a small thing, but I just see that as a file association nightmare in any OS :P

Hi all,

Is there a common understanding of what the proper file extension for MEI files should be?

I've been assuming .mei is the "standard", but a counter-example of .xml was recently brought to my attention. So, I thought I'd poll the collected wisdom and see what others were doing. Are you using .xml, .mei, or some other variation on these?
