Introduction The present document seeks to register a media type for the Open eBook Publication Structure (OEBPS) Package File (OPF). The OPF file is an XML file that describes an OEBPS Publication. It identifies all other files in the publication and provides descriptive information about them. OPF and its related standards are maintained and defined by the International Digital Publishing Forurm (IDPF). The media type defined here is needed to correctly identify OPF files when they are edited on disk, referenced in OEBPS Container files, or used in other places where media types are used. 2. Security Considerations The OPF files contain well formed XML conforming to the XML 1.0 specification. Clearly it is possible to author malicious files which, for example, contain malformed data. Most XML parsers protect themselves from such attacks by rigoriously enforcing conformance. All processors that read OPF files should rigourously check the size and validity of data retrieved. There is no current provision in the OEBPS Package File standard for encryption, signing, or authentication within the file format. 3. IANA Considerations The present document requests that IANA registers the media type application/oebps-package+xml as specified in Section 3.1. The registration uses the template present in [RFC4288]. 3.1.
