8. Appendix A. Changes Since RFC 2048(-> 4289 | 4288)

   o  Media type registration procedures are now described in a separate
      document [RFC4288].

   o  The various URLs and addresses in this document have been changed
      so they all refer to iana.org rather than isi.edu.  Additionally,
      many of the URLs have been changed to use HTTP; formerly they used
      FTP.

   o  Much of the document has been clarified in the light of
      operational experience with these procedures.

   o  Several of the references in this document have been updated to
      refer to current versions of the relevant specifications.

   o  The option of assigning the task of working on a new transfer
      encoding to an existing working group has been added to the list
      of possible actions the IESG can take.

   o  Security considerations and IANA considerations sections have been
      added.

   o  Registration of charsets for use in MIME is specified in [RFC2278]
      and is no longer addressed by this document.
