The minimum tasks for an update include re-specifying the grammar using the now-standard IETF BNF notation and the RFC 3986 rules for URIs, and then split the specification into readable drafts on message syntax, http/https URIs, caching, and content negotiation. I don't see that happening any time soon, since it makes more sense to let MIME be updated first. ....Roy
