We've already established what our milestones are, as set out in our charter. Those milestones include HTTP/1.0 and 1.1, and not CGI. Based on this, my reading is that things that try to specify how CGI should behave are probably out of order, but things that explain how HTTP should behave in the face of services that are implemented with technology like CGI are probably in order. I don't think I have (or would want) the authority to set boundaries around our discussion in the sense of cutting people off; I'm just trying to guide us into concentrating on the highest priority items. It's not inconcievable that HTTP-WG might have taken on CGI, if it weren't that we were at a crisis stage. But the risks associated with not getting 1.1 out *soon* are very high. Focus. Thanks. Larry
