+Abstract
+
+ Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language for the World
+ Wide Web. CSS style sheets have been in use since October 1995 using
+ the Media Type text/css without registration; this memo seeks to
+ regularize that position.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The World Wide Web Consortium has issued a Recommendation [1], which
+ defines Cascading Style Sheets, level 1. This memo provides
+ information about the text/css Media Type.
+
+2. Cascading Style Sheets
+
+ Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language for the World
+ Wide Web. It describes the presentation (e.g. fonts, colors and
+ spacing) of structured documents. CSS is human readable and writable,
+ and expresses style in common desktop publishing terminology.
+
+ CSS style sheets have been in use since October 1995 using the Media
+ Type text/css without registration; this memo seeks to regularize
+ that position.
+
+ A CSS style sheet can be either:
+
+
+
+
+
+

+Lie, et. al. Informational [Page 1]

+RFC 2318 text/css Media Type March 1998
+
+
+ (1) external - the style sheet is linked to a document through a
+ URI and exists as a separate object on the Web. The media type
+ text/css is used when fetching the object, for example in the
+ Content-Type and Accept header fields of HTTP [2].
+
+ (2) internal - the style sheet is contained within the document. A
+ typical scenario is an HTML [3] document that contains a style
+ sheet within the STYLE element. Due to this close relationship,
+ HTML and CSS share the same top-level name ("text").
+
+4. Registration Information
+
+ To: ietf-types@iana.org
+ Subject: Registration of MIME media type text/css
+
+ MIME media type name: text
+
+ MIME subtype name: css
+
+ Required parameters: none
+
+ Optional parameters: charset
+
+ The syntax of CSS is expressed in US-ASCII, but a CSS file can
+ contain strings which may use any Unicode character. Any charset
+ that is a superset of US-ASCII may be used; US-ASCII, iso-8859-X
+ and utf-8 are recommended.
+
+ Encoding considerations:
+
+ For use with transports that are not 8-bit clean, quoted-
+ printable encoding is recommended since the majority of
+ characters will be CSS syntax and thus US-ASCII
+
+ Security considerations:
+
+ Applying a style sheet to a document may hide information
+ otherwise visible. For example, a very small font size may be
+ specified, or the display of certain document elements may be
+ turned off.
+
+ CSS style sheets consist of declarative property/value pairs
+ assigned to element selectors. They contain no executable code.
+
+ As with HTML documents, CSS style sheets may contain links to
+ other media (images, sounds, fonts, other style sheets) and those
+ links are typically followed automatically by software, resulting
+
+

+
+RFC 2318 text/css Media Type March 1998
+
+
+ in the transfer of files without the explicit request of the user
+ for each one. The security considerations of each linked file are
+ those of the individual registered types.
+
+ Interoperability considerations:
+
+ CSS has proven to be widely interoperable across computer
+ platforms, across Web browsers of different makes, and for import
+ and export in multiple authoring tools.
+
+ Published specification: see [1]
+
+ Applications which use this media type:
+
+ CSS is device-, platform- and vendor-neutral and is supported by
+ a wide range of Web user agents and authoring tools for
+ formatting HTML and XML documents.
+
+ Additional information:
+
+ Magic number(s): none
+ File extension(s): .css
+ Macintosh File Type Code(s): "css "
+ Object Identifier(s) or OID(s): none
