1. Introduction

 This document defines a new media type for TimeStampedData envelopes.
 A TimeStampedData envelope, described in [RFC5544], binds a file with
 one or more time-stamp tokens obtained for that file.  A media type
 registration, lacking in [RFC5544], enhances shareability.

2. Registration

 Type name: application
 Subtype name: timestamped-data
 Required parameters: none
 Optional parameters: none
 Encoding considerations: binary
 Security considerations:
    See the Security Considerations in the published specification.
 Interoperability considerations: none
 Published specification: RFC 5544
 Applications which use this media type:
    Any application that exchanges TimeStampedData envelopes over a
    MIME-based transport and possibly processes them, either directly
    or via external handlers or viewers.  Such applications may be,
    for instance, digital signature applications, archival systems,
    email clients, web browsers, etc.
