> - current feature list, and what's not covered yet? (e.g. discovery is covered, but announcement is not, etc.)
> - any plan of new features on the roadmap? E.g. announcement?

> Those information will help us understand the NSD spec in a deeper way with a high level view of how it fits the overall system.

>> From the abstract:

> [[
> This specification defines a mechanism for an HTML document to
> discover and subsequently communicate with HTTP-based services
> advertised via common discovery protocols within the current network.

> The editors draft is currently under revision and we expect to publish

> I would suggest we wait until there is an updated draft for you to
> review and then consider scheduling  a joint teleconference after
