(registered 2016-08-12, last updated 2016-08-12) Name: Kim Scarborough Email: user&unknown.nu Media type name: text Media subtype name: vnd.ascii-art Required parameters: NONE Optional parameters: NONE Encoding considerations: 7bit ASCII art is 7-bit ASCII-encoded plaintext content; any octet sequence is invalid and any ASCII art file containing such should be rejected. Security considerations: ASCII art, being nonexecutable plain text, is relatively harmless. Viewing applications should reject any files containing 8-bit characters, especially control characters. The format obviously provides no privacy or integrity protection; if such protection is desired it must be supplied externally. Interoperability considerations: ASCII art can contain very long lines or very large numbers of lines, however, some displays may make it difficult to view extremely wide or long material. Published specification: None. Applications which use this media: Any text editor or web browser capable of receiving ASCII plaintext and displaying it in a monospaced font.
