The content negotiation subgroup is also working on a vary header,
which is different from the one under the above three URLs. In
particular, it has different interactions with the URI header.

A vary header model currently being discussed in the content
negotiation subgroup can be found in
<URL:http://www.organic.com/public/conneg/mail/0087.html>.  There is
no consensus yet on this document, though I am pretty certain that
there will be consensus in the content negotiation subgroup on URI and
Vary with respect to caching before Feb 2.
