Even if that document becomes a tar-pit of political discussion, it will allow the base spec to go forward on time. I had been assuming we’d talk about how to package it down the road, and a “HTTP/2.0 for Browsers” document would be one option. If it makes this discussion easier, assume that we’ll have a separate doc. Cheers, -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
