Simon Spero: > >My actual proposal ended up not using URLs to fetch the data; Simon, I was not aware that you had an actual proposal. My thoughts on how long it would take to go from here to deploying such a mechanism could have been too pessimistic. Could you post your proposal, or post a pointer to it? What is your guess on how long it would take to extend your proposal into a complete internet draft? I'm particularly interested in what you propose to include in the UA profile. There is a tradeoff between covering a larger area of negotiation and getting more `profile cache misses' with your scheme, and I'm wondering where you stand on this. I guess you won't be putting `dimensions of the UA window in pixels' in the profile, but where do you stop exactly? How many `profile cache misses' do you estimate under your proposal? BTW, I recently did some statistics on an apache user agent log file, and I counted 1673 different user agent strings (after any `via proxy ...' stuff has been stripped off, but _with_ comments like `(Macintosh; I; 68K)'). >Simon Koen.
