Technical Summary

   This specification introduces a means of describing the relationships
   between stored responses in HTTP caches, "grouping" them by
   associating a stored response with one or more opaque strings.

Working Group Summary

This is a simple document that had good working group support. It mainly applies
to implementors of caches, so it had engagement from a subset of the community,
but had good support there.

Document Quality

This document represents a standardization of a practice that is common, but
can vary across implementations.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Tommy Pauly. The Responsible
   Area Director is Mike Bishop (formerly Francesca Palombini).
