Excuse me for being blunt but that approach (true subset of HTTPng) could imply that HTTPng is the basis for all future applications protocols. I doubt that the IETF is ready to make that step. Rather, we should say that HTTPng is one user of whatever APPLCORE becomes. Brian Carpenter spreitze@parc.xerox.com wrote: > > > ...

What that tells me is that APPLCORE's solution should be part of HTTP-NG's solution. I'm trying to find out how strongly others feel about making this relationship hold.
