The last call on the Prefer draft has closed as of today. Based on the excellent feedback I received during the last call, I have updated the current draft and it has been handed off for IESG review. The current draft is located here http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-snell-http-prefer-15.txt The major changes based on feedback include: 1. I have brought back the Preference-Applied response header. I know that there are a few folks who feel this header is entirely unnecessary but feedback I have received from a number of implementers has convinced me it is. The use is optional and limited to cases where the application of a preference may not be obvious and the application of the preference could have an impact on the processing of a response. 2. I have altered the definition of the wait preference slightly. Essentially, it now specifies the clients assumption of how long processing a request should take rather than indicating how long the client is willing to wait for a response. The difference is subtle but important, and the change is a very good one. 3. I have made a number of editorial changes to the structure of the document. Some section numbers have changed. - James
