There's been some back and forth in private email about the possibility that the digest authentication draft is actually flawed enough that we should revise it before it goes to RFC, even though we have managed to make it through our own 'last call' and so has the IESG. In order to do anything other than let the current draft proceed, the IESG requires the working group to decide that it wants to halt publication of the current draft in lieu of a new one. In the interest of progress, we could just let the current draft proceed and fix these things in the next round, but, on the other hand, if there's general agreement that we made a mistake, we can, in fact, fix it. I'll let those who want to make proposed changes to the digest authentication draft suggest them on the list, and hope that we can arrive at our own conclusions quickly. This is just a 'heads up' so that people might expect to respond fairly quickly. I think most of the changes are editorial, but, because of where we are in the process, we need clear direction from YOU. Thanks, Larry (http-wg chair)
