1. Introduction

The present document seeks to register registers 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. Publication [OEBPS]. 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 Forum (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 well-formed XML conforming to the XML 1.0
specification.

Clearly

Clearly, it is possible to author malicious files which, for example,
contain malformed data. Most XML parsers protect themselves from
such attacks by rigoriously rigorously enforcing conformance.

All processors that read OPF files should rigourously rigorously 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

in [RFC4288].
