It would be _really_ nice to have a format other than plain text, hint, hint. I doubt you compose this in notepad, and change bars are extremly helpful for last-call reviews, and the previous version had alternate formats. Section 3.6, Proxy-Authentication and Proxy-Authorization, references these headers as 10.30 and 10.31. In RFC 2068 and the current draft (-03), this is 14.33 and 14.34. Also, it makes reference to "as defined above in section 2.1", which does not exist. Inconsistency: HTTP-03 Section 14.33 says: "Proxy-Authenticate SHOULD NOT be passed on" AUTH-01 1.2 says: "Both the Proxy-Authenticate and the Proxy-Authorization header fields are hop-by-hop headers" (but HTTP-03 section 13.5.1 has no normative requirements on existing hop-by-hop headers) AUTH-01 3.6 says: "...Proxy-Authenticate... must not be passed on by proxies" The note that comprises the last paragraph of 3.6 applies to basic also.
