I think this fills a hole, is well thought out, and is being done
cooperatively in the appropriate standards body. Julian has worked very
hard at filing down the inconsistencies in the http space.
So the Internet Draft could proceed to LC and publication without any
implementation in browsers.
I'd actually frown on that. One of the nice things rapid release and
silent updates give us is the freedom to innovate without being locked
into those choices for ever. Experience is good - data trumps documents.
The IETF has always thought so. Being able to checkpoint at 6 week
intervals lets us undo a bad idea before it becomes a defacto standard -
that's much harder when its more than a draft we're talking about.
...
The spec is now in IETF Last Call, ending in four weeks from now. If
there's a problem with the definition, now would be the time to point it
out.
See <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2012JanMar/0502.html>.
Best regards, Julian
