The term "parsable MIME type" used to be part of the MIME Sniffing standard, but it was removed in whatwg/mimesniff#36. This change replaces its uses with equivalent phrasing that references the "parse a MIME type" algorithm. It also replaces mentions of "ASCII-encoded strings" with the Infra standard's definition of "ASCII string". Closes w3c#170.

You pointed out that MIME types aren't necessarily ASCII so presumably we shouldn't say that here either? Or is it (still?) incorrectly stripping parameters? |

The rest of the spec currently limits MIME types to printable ASCII, and fixing that would not be an editorial change. Although given that many of the cases of "ASCII-encoded string" would be changed to something else when fixing #43, changing them to refer to Infra's definition wasn't really needed. As far as I can tell, MIME type parameters aren't being skipped anywhere. |
