Semantics include the ability for any of the filters by any method to be positioned relative to others. But for now, and given the rather simple cases that 2.0 users will first employ filtering for, I suggest this could become a 2.1 issue althogether, except for... > determining what the heck to do with ap_getline().

If you mixed up ap_getline into the input filtering semantics, you were very confused, please split those issues again. ap_getline needs to behave as it once did, even if that means calling the filter stack again with blocking for more data, or pushing back the data where a subsequent call to ap_getline or the block read can get at the overrun (of course this implies pushback.) If I'm confused, it's because I don't understand the ap_getline issue any more than you understood the filtering issue called semantics ;) I think the point is, we are all tired and want to see folks _use_ Apache 2.0. After that, some of these issues will come back into better focus for 2.1 ;) Any objections if we begin a ROADMAP file for good 2.1/2.2/3.0 generation ideas? Bill
