MIME media type name: application MIME subtype name: vnd.kde.kspread Required parameters: none Optional parameters: none Encoding considerations: Binary or base64 required Security considerations: As of this writing, KSpread documents do not contain any active content. As such, it is believed that usage of this mimetype does not introduce security concerns other than those already inherent in ZIP archives, XML files and supported image files. It is expected that later versions of KSpread feature scripting and macro recording facilities. It is, however, not intended to include active content into the KSpread document itself. KSpread documents include document metadata such as the name of the author, etc. However, none of this data is written automatically. The KSpread user has full control over what metadata is to be included and must actively request the inclusion. As such, the use of this mimetype does not lead to hidden leaking of possibly sensitive data. Interoperability considerations: Earlier versions of KOffice (<= 1.1) used gzip-compressed UNIX tar files as archive format. It is expected that this obsolete format will die out soon after the first release of KOffice 1.2. Thus, this registration does not apply to the obsolete format. Implementations are expected to use the old application/x-kspread mime type for the obsolete format. Published specification: A KSpread document consists of a series of XML streams and externally generated content which are bundled together as a ZIP archive. Any content placed in KSpread can either be completely embedded in the KSpread document or can be linked to using URIs. The DTDs used in KOffice can be obtained from http://www.koffice.org/DTD/. A description of the storage format is contained in the source code distribution (lib/store/SPEC). The current version can be obtained online via KDE's WebCVS interface: http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/koffice/lib/store/SPEC Applications which use this media type: All applications in the KDE KOffice Office Suite, esp.
