It is completely against the principles of IETF standards that the process of arriving at "rough consensus" could result in threatening to slap "uncompliant" on someone publicly. It's a rather empty power-trip. Besides, there are ample examples of situations where a HTTP/1.1 compliant application (not necessarily a browser) might implement one kind of authentication and not another. There's no first-principled reason to brand THOSE applications uncompliant in a quest for some kind of marketing press release. No thanks, LarryReceived on Tuesday, 27 August 1996 21:24:06 EDT
