Re: New Version Notification for draft-sbarta-tolerating-00.txt

Please don't pick explicit status code numbers in drafts before adoption.  The best practice is to notate the proposed status code as "1TBD" or similar, as the final value will be chosen by the working group.  Otherwise, there is a risk of early implementations polluting the codepoint space.

Personally, I don't understand why a new status code is needed at all.  A response header seems sufficient to accomplish the same result.

Okay, reviewing the 100 series, I concur, this makes more sense there. I can't believe I didn't consider it. So, for the next revision, I think I should make this either its own 100-series status code -- say 197 Tolerating -- or a standardized

Thoughts?
