RE: Seeking earlier feedback from MS [Was: IE Team's Proposal for Cross Site Requests]

Art, Jonas,
Just a quick update. We've put a lot of effort into the paper and the good news is we're nearly done. It's going through a final peer-review to make sure we've received feedback from experts in the company including our security gurus. (Yes, they do exist at MSFT -:))

I'll be sending out the paper on Tuesday evening or Wednesday the latest. Thanks for waiting.
