Re: follow up on the HTTP status codes for API spec to CR.

Yves,

We have discussed this issue during the MAWG telecon.


These status code are not on the HTTP level, but on a layer on top of it.

As these are on different layers, we have decided to remove the wording 
and references to HTTP to avoid any confusion.

Therefore the "4.7 API Status Codes" section
http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Annotations/drafts/API10/CR/Overview.html#api-status-codes

The section does not mentions HTTP nor refers to it.
The intro paragraph now says:

[This section introduces a set of status codes for the defined API to 
indicate the system behavior. As described in section 4.4, the status 
code is returned as one of the attributes of the MediaAnnotation object 
returned by a method call to the API. These status codes are used on the 
API level, and applied to either client side or server side 
implementations.]


If you see a coincidence between the Numerical Code and the HTTP staus 
code, it is only a coincidence ;-)


I hope that this resolution fits your comment. Let us know.

Best,

Thierry.
