That works, thanks. Note that if they do it by IESG action, the reference should NOT point to 2324, since that would cause yet more confusion about whether HTCPCP is "part" of HTTP. If they really want it as an RFC, we could also wait until HTTPtre.

Alexey, the registry is "IETF Review" -- is there any way we can make this kind of update without publishing an RFC? > This probably can be done with an IESG action. But you already wrote a draft, I can just AD sponsor it. If IESG says "don't publish as an RFC", we can skip publishing it. > >>> On 6 Aug 2017, at 1:17 pm, Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> wrote: >>> >>> On Sun, Aug 06, 2017 at 07:46:18PM +1000, Mark Nottingham wrote: >>>> I think that's a reasonable argument; since the intended use triggers >>>> automated behaviour, we want to be conservative as possible. >>> Thank you :-) >>> >>>> Next time we have a more informational 4xx proposed, 418 should be the >>>> strongly preferred option, right? >>> I'm fine with this. >>> >>>> Cheers, >>>> >>>> P.S.
