RE: Finding consensus on alt-svc, was: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-httpbis-alt-svc as a normative reference in http/2

Thanks Julian,  that's correct.  My opinion is that Alt-Svc is not strictly needed for HTTP/2 and my concern would be that if the alt-svc conversation goes on for too long, it will impact HTTP/2.

Rob said: "In particular, I do not want to see the Alt-Svc work further delaying HTTP/2." which IMHO implies that he think it's not strictly needed (otherwise the statement wouldn't make sense, right?).
