Remember when we had subcommittees, many of the subgroups wrote an internet draft that described their conclusions. Most of those IDs were then merged into the main document. I think we need to decide on the 'editorial' issues around the next version of the HTTP specification (including how many documents we have) later. In the meanwhile, though, I think ANY proposed change or addition to HTTP must appear in SOME Internet-draft. If there are really separable issues, it's probably better to deal with them as separate drafts. An Internet draft does not need a lot of boilerplate, and can be very short. It just needs to be written in a way that the idea stands on its own outside of the context of the torrent of mail. I've gotten feedback from many quarters that we should not try to move too quickly on HTTP/1.2 until there's more experience with HTTP/1.1. This is influencing my thoughts on the schedule. Regards, Larry
