I recently re-read the text relating to content negotiation in draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-01.txt, dated August 3, 1995. This text was taken out of subsequent HTTP 1.0 drafts, and should reappear in the upcoming HTTP 1.1 draft. In my opinion, at least half of the v10-spec-01 content negotiation text needs to be rewritten (both changes to the presentation and changes to the semantics). I am wondering how many rewriting has been done already. My question to the 1.1 draft authors is: will the new 1.1 content negotiation text be very different from the old v10-spec-01 text? Will there be cleanups in the presentation? Will things previously left unspecified be specified? Will there be changes to header semantics? I'm trying to decide if I should postpone comments on content negotiation mechanisms until after the new 1.1 draft has been released. Koen.
