MediaType RFC6838 Due diligence #25

Open ioggstream opened 2 years ago

ioggstream commented 2 years ago

I expect

some due diligence, eg. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6838#section-4.3

[ ] Parameter names are case-insensitive and no meaning is attached to the order in which they appear.
[ ] It is an error for a specific parameter to be specified more than once.
[ ] There is no defined syntax for parameter values. Therefore, registrations MUST specify parameter value syntax.

@darrelmiller how does this bit from RFC 6838 §4.3 square with the version media type parameter for OpenAPI?

New parameters SHOULD NOT be defined as a way to introduce new functionality in types registered in the standards tree, although new parameters MAY be added to convey additional information that does not otherwise change existing functionality. An example of this would be a "revision" parameter to indicate a revision level of an external specification such as JPEG.
