This is the latest version of PATCH. Compared to the -04 draft: - Moved sections for interoperability with RFC3744 (ACL) and RFC3230 (Instance digests) to new section - now has Security Considerations and IANA Considerations sections - removed references in abstract - No longer uses "DAV:" namespace for any new syntax, instead defines own namespace & registers with IANA Once again, if I don't get feedback that requires changes beyond typos, I intend to submit this to standards track for consideration as a Proposed Standard in a week or two. Except for the fact that this is not an official WG document for either WebDAV or HTTP, this constitutes kind of a WG last call. All the feedback so far in both groups has been great but because there's been fairly close review I don't expect a lot more changes. I'm still hoping to hear from people who intend to implement this if it becomes an RFC.
