Security Considerations: The security issues associated with this type have not been assessed. Interoperability considerations: As this is not an open standard, interoperability is left up to the discretion of the developer (currently Corel Corp.). This media type is to be preferred to the obsolete application/wordperfect5.1 media type. That type was grandfathered in, and is in conflict with the current policies of media types in the following respects: 1) As it is a closed, proprietary standard, it should be in the vnd. subtree. 2) It specifies a particular version number in the type name. Published specification: none Applications which use this media type: The WordPerfect suite of office applications. Additional information: Magic number(s): none File extension: .wpd Macintosh File Type Code(s): "WPC2" Person & email address to contact for further information: Questions about this proposal should be directed to Kim Scarborough .
