Yes, this was one of my concerns when raising the scoping issue - that relevant work didn't get missed out simply because it happened before XML took off so dramatically. A lot of the HTTP-NG work, both on protocol design and the Web Characterization activity [1] serves as an excellent backgrounder for XML and protocols discussion. For eg the way in which the protocol design work was coupled to the WCA fact-finding work[2] seems to me to be a model worth continuing, as it grounds design discussions in a model of deployed Web practice.

The Web Characterization Groupis now disbanded. As of October 5 1998, a similar activity was formed called the Web Characterization Activity. -- danbri@w3.org
