Larry Masinter: > >This memo was discussed at previous working group meetings. The >issue that WebDAV and RSVP have assigned status codes for HTTP >and others want to has arisen again. Unless there are any >objections, we will propose that this draft be moved forward >to Proposed Standard. I object. The draft defines a 3-digit status code space. There is a significant risk that a 3-digit status code space will be too small to cater for all future activities by IETF groups and individuals, which would leave IANA in the difficult and unpopular position of having to manage the allocation of a scarce resource. The draft should allow for status codes of more than 3 digits, and should allow IANA to allocate large blocks of status codes (say blocks like 456000 - 456999) to individuals. Failing that, it should at least give sound reasons why a restriction to 3 digit codes is absolutely necessary. >Larry Koen.
