<http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/306> IIRC we checked various implementations and found that many don't handle ETags as a quoted-string; therefore, the safe/sensible thing to do is to re-define ETag as a something else; i.e., something with the same syntax, but without any special semantic for backslashes. We might also caution against including backslashes in them in prose, since it isn't interoperable. Thoughts / objections? -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
