Registration Authority
The HTTP Registration Authority is responsible for maintaining lists of:
- Charge account name spaces (see ChargeTo: field above)
- Authorization schemes (see Authorization: field above)
- Data format names (as MIME Content-Types)
- Data encoding names (as MIME Content-Encoding))
It is proposed that the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority or their successors take this role.
Unregistered values may be used for experimental purposes if they are start with "X-".
