We seem to have two questions related to Chunked encoding, and I wonder whether answering one of them may make it easier to answer the other. Specifically, we have an open question on whether we will support both chunked encoding and multi-part MIME for persistent connections. We also have an open question about whether and how to fix the current specification of chunked encoding so that it allows the kinds of footer information the Phillip Hallam-Baker needs. If we agree we will support both chunked encoding (as a MUST) and multi-part MIME (perhaps as a SHOULD), can we leave messages which require footers to multi-part MIME? If this is possible, it seems that we could retain some of the ease of implementation that the Area Directors indicated chunking would buy us, and help us get persistent connections deployed more quickly Ted
