Re: New Version Notification for draft-nottingham-http-structure-retrofit-00.txt

I think this is a great idea and we should push this work forward. In the Signatures draft, we’d love to be able to point to a separate document for information about canonicalizing fields wherever possible. We can already do that with things that are native structured fields, and this would allow us to point to a list that lets  you say “you can treat it as a native structured field even if it’s not defined as one”.
