I wasn't clear in my message. What I meant to say is that even though "system management of HTTP clients" doesn't appear in our charter, and isn't directly related to "development of the HTTP protocol", I believe that discussion of this topic is "in scope" for HTTP-WG, at least to the extent that we decide how to deal with the issue or delegate it to some other subgroup. It would be useful to enumerate the entire set of requirements for system management for HTTP clients (media type helpers, security profiles, site policy about viruses, privacy, etc.) as well as HTTP proxies and HTTP servers. I expect that these issues could easily absorb at least one new working group, and we need to arrange to establish this activity before HTTP-WG itself shuts down.
