I agree or course that there should be consensus between all subgroups
at the end.  My remark concerned the time-frame: I am pretty sure that
the content negotiation subgroup will be able to give the caching
subgroup some summary of its views on content negotiation with respect
to caching at a date before Feb 2, when the caching subgroup has its
meeting.

I do not know yet whether the content negotiation subgroup a) understands
and b) agrees with my proposal.  Therefore, I'd rather not discuss
differences, similarities, and orthogonality of the three different
Vary proposals on the main list right now.  However, if discussion
does start on the main list, I will certainly join in.
