Mark, The most recent draft looks good. One thing that struck me is that there seems to be a good alignment between this and the Prefer header. Currently, there is no way for a client to know whether or not a server supports Prefer. Hints would be a great way to provide that information. For instance... Async-Responses o Hint Name: pa o Hint Type: origin o Description: When true, indicates that the origin supports Prefer: respond-async o Value Type: boolean o Contact: jasnell@gmail.com Minimal Responses o Hint Name: pr o Hint Type: origin o Description: When true, indicates that the origin supports Prefer: return-minimal and return=representation o Value Type: boolean o Contact: jasnell@gmail.com Strict and Lenient Handling o Hint Name: ph o Hint Type: origin o Description: When true, indicates that the origin supports Prefer: handling=strict and handling=lenient o Value Type: boolean o Contact: jasnell@gmail.com - James
