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 + + + + +Lie, et. al. Informational [Page 2] + +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 + + Person & email address to contact for further information: + + The authors of this memo. + + Intended usage: COMMON + + Author/Change controller: + +5.
