And I miss in the list the draft on trusted proxies proposed by Salvatore.

I would say that other aspects of proxies have higher priority, at least for me right now. On the other hand I fear that this will always be the case for everyone, which is probably why autoproxy.pac has such an open API right now. I exchanged some ideas on using JSON as the format for standardized PAC provision, that could be interesting as well for cases related with content delivery. But we certainly need here some degree of consensus from the browser makers. >> ## UX >> >> Another thing mentioned in the London DTM was the need for UX. We said there (and I still agree) that this is *not* the venue for that discussion, but it needs to happen somewhere, and it’s likely to block what we do. Is anyone aware of a place where that is happening (W3C seems like an obvious possibility, but I haven’t heard anything from them)? > > UX for what? We did have UX resources working on the explicit authenticated proxy prototype, but that is just one use case, that even might end up not being relevant for anyone. I agree: It is hard to imagine how to make UX issues a matter for IETF... Be goode, -- "Esta vez no fallaremos, Doctor Infierno" Dr Diego R.
