As a direction that http 1.1 should go the proposal is valid.. If you think it would be appropriate then I am happy to propose a new non http protocol that has the minimallist features that interworks with the proposed 1.0 and 1.1 standards. Having reviewed work in progress, I came to the above conclusions. The WEB by its very nature has its own 'sub groups'. If you speak only french or german I am sure that you can find a weblet that you can use. Content negotiation is only one mechanism in specifying the diversity found on the WEB. To say that a proposal to remove features is wrong does everyone a major dis-service. I would be happy to review real figures on how content negotiation is used. Do any of the crawlers accumulate those statistics?
