Coming to a conclusion on draft-abarth-origin

To wrap up discussion of
   http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-abarth-origin-00

I'd note that the draft does not identify an intended status, nor have  
we been asked for a review by the IESG or RFC Editor (which presumably  
they might do when publication is requested). As such, this is just a  
summary of the discussion to date.

It appears that, based on feedback on this list:
   1) there is little interest in implementing this header (at least  
in this community), and
   2) a number of people question the value of adding this new header,  
and
   3) a number of people believe that the Referer header could be used  
to achieve most of the goals of the draft.

To aid in (3), we have opened an issue
   http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/144

Adam, please help me clarify any points above which you don't believe  
are justified by discussion on this list. Also, I now you were working  
on a draft -01; if you still intend to publish it, we will of course  
be happy to provide feedback.

Cheers,
