Hi Melvin,

my proposal is for fedsocweb to refer to
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-appsawg-webfinger-00 right now,
and then to follow the IETF's updates from there. if at some point
they put "obsoleted by..." on there, then we follow wherever that link
points us to.

Are you seriously proposing it's better if we fork away? Please
consider not only the theoretical but also the practical implications
of such a suggestion. I see no utility in it.

IMHO, fedsocweb forking away from the webfinger effort would lead to
total chaos and nothing getting built, and i think you know that, so
it puzzles me a bit why you keep doing this, it seems so destructive?


Cheers,
Michiel
