I expressed concern about the schedule last year, but the feedback from both the ADs and people in the room (IIRC this was in Dublin) was that we're still making good progress, and the work justifies the wait. Personally, I'm OK with this answer, as long as we are still moving forward; RFC2616 has served us for quite some time, and it can hold on a bit longer. The editors have made some progress recently on proposals for a variety of issues, but we're waiting for the IPR contributions situation to be resolved (hopefully in the next week or so) before publsihing. > Perhaps the issue list should be cut down to the bare > minimum needed to resolve known interoperable issues.

I'd be surprised if we resolved every issue on the list, but I think we shouldn't throw them away either. I will be concerned if we lose editorial resources, or don't have good feedback and review. So far it doesn't look like that's the situation. Cheers, -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
