If folks think that the discussion is leading away for a solution to the problem of optimistic HTTP encryption due to it being too hard to start from the HTTP headers, please do consider other options. A few years ago I floated a proposal for a "HASTLS" DNS record that garnered some interest but became bogged down in policy questions relating to fallback from secure to insecure. (The abandoned draft is at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hoffman-server-has-tls-05) I could revive that draft, stripped of the fallback language, if this WG wants optimistic HTTP but can't see a good way to get it in HTTP itself. --Paul Hoffman
