Rather, we wanted to allow a modifier on the token - e.g. "on;skip-video", or some such. Similar to Key's "user-agent;substr=MSIE" and so on. As such, I'm not sure the whole list discussion applies? > > Am I missing something obvious? :-) > > [1] https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/issues/168 I think that's the context that was missing here. The intent AIUI is not to allow more than one save-data token to appear at a time (in a list); rather, it's to allow tokens to carry additional context as extensions. Given that, is there still a concern about compatibility with what Common Structure might define? -- Mark Nottingham https://www.mnot.net/
