Re: sequences in the HTTP vocabulary

Hi Johannes,

This seems to solve the issue for the sequence of multiple headers of
the same field, in this case the "Accept" field.

Are there other types of sequence restrictions that we need to consider
within the HTTP vocabulary (for example the significance of one field
being processed before another one)?

As to the EARL vocabulary, I think we will need a sequential list for
the request and response properties. Do you agree?

Thanks,
   Shadi
