But this is already work in progress:
draft-ietf-http-feature-reg-02.txt describes a mechanism
for registration of features such as color depth and number of pixels,
and draft-ietf-http-negotiation-03.txt includes an "accept-features"
header.
It would be good to get some timely working group focus on these
documents
before we progress them to "Experimental" status.
