 The images use the GPT partition table verbatim, so it will not be redefined here. Each partition contains
 a standard Linux filesystem (e.g.: `erofs`), so again this will not be redefined here.

+It is recommended to use a sector size of 512 bytes or 4096 for DDIs. Software operating with DDIs should
+automatically derive the sector size used for a DDI by looking for the "EFI PART" magic string at offsets 512
+or 4096, as per GPT specification.
+
+## Naming
+DDIs should use `.raw` as file suffix. A secondary suffix may be used to clarify the specific usage class of
+a DDI. For now the two secondary suffixes `.sysext.raw` and `.confext.raw` are defined (for system extension
+DDIs and configuration extension DDIs).
+
+The MIME type for DDIs is `application/vnd.efi.img`.
 
 ## Image Version
 If the DDI is versioned, the version format described in the
