As I've been working through the issues of header encoding and implementing the delta mechanism in java, I've been working on an updated version of the bohe draft that pulls concepts from delta but does not rely on stored compression state. I have documented the updated approach here: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-snell-httpbis-bohe-02.txt It draws heavily on bits of the conversations that we've had on list. Please consider this still to be a work in progress and is intended primarily for discussion and evaluation purposes. The key advantages of this approach are that it is *significantly* easier to implement than delta (by an order of magnitude) and depends on absolutely no stored compression state. The key disadvantage is that it is fundamentally JUST an encoding mechanism, it doesn't really define the compression mechanism. I will provide an updated impl for the compression-tests later this week. As always, comments are welcome. - James
