Gentlefolk of the HTTPbis WG - I need to direct your attention to one of just two open issues with the 5987bis document (Indicating Character Encoding and Language for HTTP Header Field Parameters), which deals with the intended status of the eventual RFC. The consensus of the WG is sought. https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/issues/271 The intended status of this document is currently listed as "Internet Standard" ( https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc5987bis/ ) The other practical status for standards track documents is proposed standard - its laid out here https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2026.txt and also in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6410.txt The basic guidance is: An Internet Standard is characterized by a high degree of technical maturity and by a generally held belief that the specified protocol or service provides significant benefit to the Internet community. A list of the ~100 active documents currently bearing STD status can be found here https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards#IS I apologize to Julian for not starting this thread earlier, I procrastinated long enough that we got into the holiday season and then I decided to defer until everyone's attention returned to work. Thanks for your input. -Patrick, chair-hat on
