It's nice when we get local consensus within a subgroup, but we have to work out all the details as a whole. When there's an issue that overlaps the two groups (such as the Vary and URI headers) it doesn't help to have different consensus in two different groups. If this is an issue that crosses two subgroups, then lets just hash it out; if you can't work it out in the http-caching or conneg group, then bring it to the main list. I don't want to get too heavy with procedure here, but we don't make good progress when there's too many counter-proposals and not enough critique of existing proposals. Can people please address the issue of whether there is any technical reason to choose one 'vary' proposal over another? http://www.organic.com/public/conneg/mail/0087.html vs. >Please discuss my proposal for a "Vary" header.
