Hi, For group review. Dan (I think you chair tomorrow's call), could you add this to tomorrow's agenda? There was some discussion on the IETF mailing-list last week on the use of "X-" to prefix the HTTP header field. Conclusion is: 1. I should be able to proceed with registration of the HTTP header fields in the provisional registry. 2. Moving from provisional to permanent is unlikely to be an easy task. It will require wide review within IETF, and some consensus withing the IESG (Internet Engineering Steering Group) that "X-" HTTP header fields may be introduced in the permanent registry, or an approved IETF proposed standard that defines the HTTP header fields. I propose to move ahead with registration in the provisional registry as expected, but note I doubt we can move to Recommendation if the HTTP header fields are not permanently registered. Latest message so far available at: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-message-headers/current/msg00107.html The whole thread is currently the last one in: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-message-headers/current/threads.html Francois.
