"extension" specs define something new, which, by definition, will stay optional. With new specs defined in 2025, we can't change what is required for HTTP. So when we say "Standard" it does not mean "we expect everybody to implement this". It just means: "if you want to do this: there is a standard for this new functionality, and this is how it works". > ... > It is expected that there will be a transition period while implementations > ... Yes, there will be a period while support grows, but I don't believe that there is an expectation that that support ever will be universal. Best regards, Julian
