+              Example Media Types for Use in Documentation
+
+Status of This Memo
+
+   This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
+   Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
+   improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
+   Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
+   and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

+
+Abstract
+
+   This document is registration for the 'example' media type and
+   'example' subtypes within the standards tree.  The 'example/*' and
+   '*/example' media types are defined for documentation purposes only.
+
+1.  Introduction
+
+   From time to time, documents created by the IETF or by other
+   standards bodies show examples involving the use of media types,
+   where the actual media type is not relevant.  It would be useful in
+   such cases to be able to show a media type whose illustrative role in
+   the example is clear.  In the worst case, this can be useful to debug
+   implementations where the designer mistook the example for a
+   requirement of the protocol concerned.
+
+   To meet this need, this document registers the following media types:
+
+   o  the 'example' media type;
+
+   o  the 'application/example', 'audio/example', 'image/example',
+      'message/example', 'model/example', 'multipart/example',
+      'text/example', and 'video/example' media subtypes.
+
+   It is suggested that compilers of illustrative examples involving
+   media types in trees other than the standards tree might also
+   incorporate the string "example" into their hypothetical media types.
+

+
+2.  Terminology
+
+   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
+   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
+
+3.  Registration of the 'example' Media Type
+
+   This section registers the 'example' media type in accordance with
+   the requirements of RFC 4288.
+
+   Type name: example.
+
+   Subtype name: any subtype may be used with the 'example' type.
+   However, IANA MUST NOT register any subtypes for the 'example' media
+   type.
+
+
+   Required parameters: as invented by the user.
+
+   Optional parameters: as invented by the user.
+
+   Encoding considerations: as invented by the user.
+
+   Security considerations: The 'example' media type is defined for use
+   in documentation only.  It MUST NOT be implemented.  Its appearance
+   in real code could lead to unpredictable results and therefore open
+   up security holes.
+
+   Interoperability considerations: Any attempt to negotiate or send the
+   'example' media type is bound to lead to interoperability problems.
+
+   Published specification: this document.
+
+   Applications that use this media type: as invented by the user.
+
+   Additional information:
+      Magic number(s): not applicable.
+      File extension(s): not applicable.
+      Macintosh file type code(s): not applicable.
+
+   Person & email address to contact for further information:
+   ietf-types@iana.org.
+
+   Intended usage: LIMITED USE.

+
+   Restrictions on usage: This type is intended only for use in
+   documents providing examples involving specification of some media
+   type, where the actual media type used is irrelevant.

+4.  Registration of the 'application/example', 'audio/example',
+    'image/example', 'message/example', 'model/example',
+    'multipart/example', 'text/example', and 'video/example' Subtypes
+
+    This section registers 'example' media subtypes in accordance with
+    the requirements of RFC 4288.
+
+    Type name: 'application', 'audio', 'image', 'message', 'model',
+    'multipart', 'text', and 'video'.
+
+    Subtype name: 'example'.
+
+    Required parameters: those required by the type and any others as
+    invented by the user.
+
+    Optional parameters: those offered by the type and any others as
+    invented by the user.
+
+    Encoding considerations: as invented by the user.
+
+    Security considerations: The 'example' media subtypes are defined
+    for use in documentation only.  They MUST NOT be implemented.  Their
+    appearance in real code could lead to unpredictable results and
+    therefore open up security holes.
+
+    Interoperability considerations: Any attempt to negotiate or send
+    one of these 'example' media subtypes is bound to lead to
+    interoperability problems.
+
+    Published specification: this document.
+
+    Applications that use this media type: as invented by the user.
+
+   Additional information:
+      Magic number(s): not applicable.
+      File extension(s): not applicable.
+      Macintosh file type code(s): not applicable.

+5.  Security Considerations
+
+   The 'example' media type and subtypes are defined for use in
+   documentation only.  They MUST NOT be implemented.  Any attempt to
+   implement them in real code could lead to unpredictable results and
+   thus potentially open up security holes.
+
+6.  IANA Considerations
+
+   This document specifies and registers the 'example' media type and
+   the 'application/example', 'audio/example', 'image/example',
+   'message/example', 'model/example', 'multipart/example',
+   'text/example', and 'video/example' subtypes.
+
+7.  Acknowledgements
+
+   This document sprang from Magnus Westerland's expression of need and
+   Rod Walsh's support and suggestions for generalization.  Warnings
+   against implementation in the Security Considerations and
+   Interoperability Considerations sections and the 'multipart/example'
+   subtype were added at John Klensin's suggestion.  Some editing
+   touchups and strengthening of the language in the Security
+   Considerations section were done in response to the Gen-ART reviewer,
+   Sharon Chisholm.
