Question: how is content encoding specified?
-
Answer: content.encoding. note that the final answer may be more complicated, depending on the actual serialization, but the concept applies in all cases.
Question: is content.encoding required?
-
Answer:
Note that content type, data, and encoding only applies to embedded data. External content referenced via URI doesn't need them. That would make the example: content.uri or content.type, content.encoding, and content.data.
