Better define or remove pc:encoding #6

Closed wonder-sk closed 9 months ago

wonder-sk commented 1 year ago

The definition of the required pc:encoding says that it is "Content encoding or format of the data."

With this kind of vague definition I am not sure if it adds any value - writers will put there something but readers will not be able to rely on those values.

I would suggest to either improve the definition to make it clear what to expect (at least for the commonly expected encodings) or to just remove it.

What's the difference to the type found in assets anyway?
