Re: moving forward on draft-lear-httpbis-svcinfo-rr

I am sorry if this sounds too negative.

But personally, I don't think this proposal is a good avenue to take at
all.  Further, I don't believe there will be any significant
implementations of it.  I heard similar comments from others offline, but
I'll let them speak up here.

I would propose:
   a) Find out if there is really any support for this approach from
implementors
   b) If so, have at it!
   c) If not, let's table it and move on
