OK, but if the charter does _not_ mention work on HTML, then HTML experts will not get signalled to take a look. I'm OK with that *only* if the DIX WG is bound to *not use* any HTML syntax in order to interoperate. My understanding is that DIX is currently deployed, to some extent, and that to interoperate with the deployed services, you have to do some HTML stuff. The charter should err on the side of noting all communities of experties that might be relevant. > The current interest in improving/extending/fixing HTTP-AUTH comes to > mind as > a possible alternative/substitute mechanism. > > John -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
